Summary


PHOTO-2024-05-08-20-40-29
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?
