FOR GOOD SPARK JOY 博君一粲
Art and design often carry an air of complexity that reflect not just a creator’s personal history, but the styles of the day and even the state of technology that plays an ever more intricate place in our lives. What’s often forgotten is meaning and context, and how good design can benefit the body and soul – even if it’s just a small desktop accessory – by bringing to your day something irreplaceably thoughtful, transformative and perhaps even transcendent. The leading works in this year’s DesignInspire 2020 take creativity back to basics by exploring how design in our city can inspire, improve, and ultimately spark more joy in our lives. We’ve meticulously created pieces that celebrate design, break boundaries and challenge trends in ways that bring a smile to our faces, and hopefully to yours too.
藝術和設計總是給人一種複雜的感覺，它不只反映作者本人的經歷、當時的藝術 風格，還有日常生活中影響日漸龐雜的科技等。然而，意義和脈絡卻常常被忽略。 同樣，優秀的設計——即使是小小的文儀用品——可以如何裨益身心，讓人達至 自我提升並完善，也經常為人忽視。 DesignInspire創意設計博覽2020展出的傑作讓創意回歸基本，探討本城的設 計可如何啟發與改善我們的生活，甚至為我們的生活增添歡樂色彩。
我們細心搜羅的優秀設計作品，可以突破疆界、挑戰潮流，讓我們會心微笑，希望 也能博君一粲。

Personal space and privacy can become an issue with more time at home, resulting in more frequent arguments and tainted family ties. Javis Chan’s Interactive Bench solves this congestion issue at home without the need for purchasing more furniture. He takes inspiration from Star Ferry’s reversable benches, whereby passengers can choose which direction they wish to face by maneuvering the seat back. The Interactive Bench has adopted this reversible function thanks to seats made of lightweight yet durable skateboards and a frame crafted from steel. The Interactive Bench best fits between the living and the dining areas for maximum efficiency.

Keikko Lee and Rosetta Lau: Hu Keikko Lee與Rosetta Lau：喵
One of the things most enjoyed during days of lockdown and home offices are perhaps the time with our pets. No longer do they need to wait patiently for us to return from the office, when “the office” is right where they take their afternoon naps.While pet owners, too, appreciate their company, our furry friends’ bugging faces and adorable attempts to fight for our attention may be counterproductive to our jobs and sometimes even unsolicited during video-conference meetings and phone calls. Keikko Lee and Rosetta Lau’s Furry Friend Coworkers is a wooden desk that keeps our pets entertained and our stationary organised. A pen tray and magazine racks are complemented with play areas and scratching poles for cats, making coexistence between the hardworking human and the adoring pets a much easier feat at home. 在居家辦公的新日常生活下，寵物可能是最受惠的一群。當主人的「辦公室」 變成牠們平日午睡的地方，毛孩們再也不用被獨留家中等待主人下班。然 而，與毛孩同伴一起工作雖然能帶來許多樂趣和美好時光，但是牠們苦苦哀
求的眼神實在令人無法不在工作中分神，有時候甚至連視像或電話會議都 無法順利進行。Keikko Lee與Rosetta Lau設計的木書桌除設有放置筆和文
具的木盤和雜誌架外，還有專為寵物而設的玩耍區和貓抓柱，讓你安心工作 之餘又不會冷落家中寵物。

Vincent Woo: Rainbow in the Ocean Vincent Woo：Rainbow in the Ocean
Illustrating his love for concrete’s natural greys and beiges, Vincent Woo’s Rainbow in the Ocean highlights the beauty of this mundane architectural material, and its versatility. The showcasing installation consists of one hundred cubes made of resin and concrete, where each base features a unique landscape. Each individual cube symbolizes life itself – sometimes full of challenges, sometimes relaxing or dull. Through using this everyday material as a medium for his artwork, he invites people to ponder their lifestyle, the world they’re living in and their surroundings. Vincent Woo對水泥的天然灰色及米色情有獨鐘鐘，其作品Rainbow in the
Ocean突出了一般被視為沉悶的水泥的美態，並展了此建築材料的多樣性。 此裝置由一百件以水泥及環氧樹脂造成的立方組成，每件方塊底部均展示出 獨特景觀，並象徵著人生 — 有時充滿風浪、有時平淡恬靜。Woo透過利用這
種日常物料創作，鼓勵人們對自己的生活方式、所身處的世界及周遭環境多 加思考。

Lisa J. Lai and Joel Wong: Balanco Lisa J. Lai與Joel Wong：衡思坐想
Lisa J. Lai and Joel Wong’s Strike a Balance offers a sense of normality and equilibrium in this pandemic-induced new normal. Inspired by pebble towers – symbols of immense patience and calmness – their art work is a number of wooden, irregularly shaped storage boxes that double as stools and could be assembled in a myriad ways depending on user preference, the contents of the each storage box and the location in which they will be placed – exemplary of a fine balance between art and practicality. Lisa J. Lai與Joel Wong取材自疊石的設計，正好讓我們在的新日常生活 裡找回一點一切如常的感覺，讓心境保持平衡。這一系列不規則的木製儲
物箱，不僅可以當矮凳，也可以隨意組合，放置什麼、放在哪裡，都悉隨尊 便，可說是藝術和實用完美平衡的作品。

Eldage: Art of the Ordinary 傳耆：日常生活裡的藝術
Minutiae of everyday life brims with art that’s been handed down through generations. It can be seen in our cultural relics, such as galvanized stencil, seal carving, handcrafted stamping or a rambunctious lions head. There’s a romance and joy in knowing that art infuses every part of our daily lives, waiting for our discovery. Though machines, robots and technology are replacing manual labour to match our demanding, rapid lifestyles, some artisans in our city remain dedicated to honing their crafts in meticulous detail to pass on their heritage and legacy to future generations. As time passes, these artists have become rare; here we showcase exquisite workmanship by three distinguished craftsmen. 代代相傳的藝術品可見於日常生活裡的各個小細節裡， 鍍鋅的模板、印章雕刻、手刻圖章或舞動的獅頭等文化 遺產就是最好的例子。認識這些日常生活各個角落裡等
待被發掘的藝術，是一件浪漫而賞心悅目的事。儘管為
了滿足現代人急速的生活方式，人手製作早已被機器、 機械人和科技等取代，但城中仍然有巧手工匠醉心於他 們細膩的工藝創作，孜孜於將自己的文化遺產傳給下一
代。時光荏苒，匠人數目日減，我們將在本章裡介紹三位 傑出的工匠，以及他們的精湛工藝。

Giraffe Leung : The Leaves that Stay; the City that Fades 梁洛熙： 唯有「葉」隨身
Rapid urban development and the diminishing of nature is indicative of our city’s neglect for environmental
conservation
and
sustainability.
Giraffe Leung’s The Leaves that Stay; the City that Fades is a series of artworks that reconstruct Hong Kong’s recognisable landmarks including The Big Buddha, Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, Aqua Luna junk boat, Kowloon City and the tram in leaves of varying colour and transparency. They remind us of the sacrifices in nature to make way for human needs.
急速的城市發展和大自然面積減少，均是本城忽略了環

透明的葉子，重塑大佛、舊九廣鐵路鐘樓、張保仔帆船、 九龍城和電車等香港著名景物，提醒我們大自然在城市 發展中作出的犧牲。

REIMAGINE, REPURPOSE, REDESIGN FOR GOOD
從「心」·建設「築」動生 活
HIR Studio: Sha Tin Bench HIR建築設計室：沙田公共座椅
Embracing the ethos of “from Sha Tin, for Sha Tin” and to encourage proper waste disposal and management among the community, the Sha Tin Bench was inspired by the charismatic Shing Mun River. Not only is it a symbol of community and is the source of the plastics used in design, but its blue and orange colours are also shared by the Sha Tin Town Hall.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council has partnered with The Hong Kong Institute of Architect to recruit creative inventions themed around “Reimagine, Repurpose, Redesign for Good” so to enhance the relationship among oneself, the community and the world. Submissions could cover a range of categories such as indoor and outdoor spaces design, sustainable architecture, furniture and art instillations, designed with recycled or reused materials.
香港貿發局與香港建築師學會攜手舉辦以「Reimagine, Repurpose, Redesign for Good」為題的設計項目，召集 創新法想，加強個人與社區以至世界的聯繫。作品包括室 內及室外設計、可持續建築、傢俬及回收或重用物料設計 而成的藝術裝置。 30 | HONG KONG CREATIVE FORCE

HIR Studio partnered with community waste collection organisations to gather 500kg of HDE (Type 2 plastic) plastic bottles in two months during weekend collection events. What became were trapezoidal moulds, which are rotated in a chain to form fluid, curvilinear long benches that echo the beauty of the Shing Mun River. 作品靈感源自秀麗的城門河，以「取之沙田、用之沙田」 為理念，鼓勵社區裡的居民思考廢物處理的問題。這張 公共座椅不僅是沙田的象徵，製造所需的塑膠也源自沙 田，藍和橙的顏色則取自城門河和沙田大會堂。
HIR建築設計室與區內團體合作，在兩個月內利用週末的
回收街站共收集到500公斤以高密度聚乙烯（俗稱二號 膠）製造的膠樽，然後將膠樽變成梯形的組件，再組裝成起 伏有致的長凳，其流動線條一如蜿蜓穿過沙田的城門河。
School Redesign of Positive Well-being 校園新面貌
The trio of primary school repurposing projects promotes positive learning and student wellbeing by tailoring the space to their distinctive place-making needs. For Po Leung Kuk CASTAR Primary School, a standard computer lab was transformed into a multifunctional STEM room that allows for flexible configurations. The outdoors were realised as another “teacher” with a “Treehouse” of steps, platforms and curving vertical enclosures at Pat Heung Central Primary School’s open lawn. This multi-purpose space acts as a performance stage and playground. Meanwhile, the corridor and activity room were opened up to facilitate interactive pedagogy and a sense of belonging in Fung Kai Liu Yun Sum Primary School. 三個小學校園設施的改建項目均旨在透過量身定設的空 間，以滿足學生的獨特需要，藉以推廣主動學習。其中，保
良局世德小學將一般的電腦室改裝成結構可靈活變動的 多功能STEM教室；八鄉中心小學的戶外草地則在樹底下
加建梯子、平台和弧形屏封，變身成可充當表演舞台和遊 樂場等的多功能「樹屋」 ，成為不一樣的「教育」設施；至於
在鳳溪廖潤琛紀念學校，活動室與走廊之間的牆壁被拆走
後，變為適合互動教學的開放空間，以增加學生的歸屬感。
Catenary Timber Structure 懸鏈線木建築
An oft-overlooked architectural material is timber, a carbon negative, low-density and long-lasting material whose force acting on the structure is proportion to the weight of the structure itself. A selfsustaining model is the parabola-like catenary. As a pure tension system that supports its own weight, it promises extensive mass reduction without compromising structural stability. A bridge and Visitor and Education Centre are built in Malaysia to demonstrate its feasibility. 負碳排放、低密度且耐用的木材是備受忽略的建築材
料，它加諸建築的壓力與建築本身的重量成正比。跟抛 物線類似的懸鏈線建築，屬於可支撐本身重量的純拉伸 結構，好處是可以大幅降低質量之餘仍能保持築築物的 穩定性。馬來西亞有一座橋和一間遊客教育中心特別為 了展示了這種結構的好處和靈活運用而建。
