Hong Kong Young Architects & Designers Competition 2017 - Highlighted Entry

 

The countryside is one of the hidden gems of Hong Kong - residents and tourists often fail to appreciate the tranquility and beauty that nature has to offer. The Nursery Park is one of the attempts to bring this experience of nature into the urban environment. Within this journey, a Chinese pavilion is often present to bring shelter and a peace of mind
to its visitors.

 

Protected by nature, the noise and distractions of the metropolitan is filtered out, resulting in a peaceful atmosphere, looking out towards the magnificent Victoria Harbour. The humble Chinese pavilion is taken into this setting and reinterpreted - it sits not as a distraction to the experience; it is also a proud unique piece of sculpture sitting inside the West Kowloon Cultural District. The pavilion unpacks and reiterates the supposed relationship between nature, humanity and the built environment - each having a strong appreciation for each other, but at the same time respecting and honouring their co-existence. It creates an opportunity for visitors to take a break from their busy lives and for once enjoy what the city has to offer, or simply the companionship of each other.
