Summary
Furniture can be reused, appliances repaired, and clothes mended. Is there any way to “repair” a community?
Students from PolyU Social Design will hold a 3-day program at AIRSIDE from May 17 -19 to share their community design projects they have been working on for eight months:
- Countryside:
How can urban habitants practice agriculture side by side with organic farmers? How are the tensions between rural residents and buffaloes resolved?
- Housing:
How can residents of transitional social housing be connected? How might the daily imagination of people living in subdivided units be nurtured?
- Consumption space:
What sort of relationships can we construct in small shopping centers? What about the larger shopping malls?
- Place:
What is “non-place”? Is it possible to build a community in a seemingly faceless place?
