Let’s throwback to earlier this summer.

Led by Michael Chan and Ivy Kong from PolyU Design, 30 students from various departments of PolyU who took the subject of ‘SD2S01 Design and Build in Remote Community’ had their service learning experience in Keihoku, a remote countryside of Japan where a music festival will be held in September.

The group was invited by the Kyoto government and its Education Department, and supported by Japan’s NGO Roots to contribute their cross-disciplinary knowledge to the local economy. Their mission was to attract tourists through architecture and a comprehensive marketing plan in a sustainable approach. Having conducted a research in the community and with local high school students, a tourist attracting treehouse was nicely built by the students from scratch in a spot surrounded by the natural environment. Well done!
