Digital Common(s): The Role of Metaverse Tools for Citizen Design Science in Hong Kong

Over the last decades, the advancement of Hong Kong has been continuously supported by infrastructural expansion. The resultant utopian-type of development model celebrates density, transience and transition, with one grand objective achieved- to get space and time connected. The development model, on the other hand, has revealed connections at different scales to emerge. The ‘in-between’ conditions that exist between layers, scales and time, could be distinguished by the notion of authority (e.g. private/ public, top-down/ bottom-up initiatives), duality (nature/ man-made, love and hate, etc), physical construct (e.g. interventions at different sizes/ layers/ scales) or psychological interpretation (e.g. subjectivity/ objectivity, sensational/ functional). They facilitate spontaneous interactions and linkages, both physically and spiritually, that stitch space, time and people up and assemble fragments in the city.

Resurrection of Contextual Values: Prototypical Design Approach

The exhibition invites HKIA Members’ interpretation of ‘in-betweens’ in Hong Kong, and create exhibits for public exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur, Nanjing and Hong Kong. The exhibition also invites experts from the three cities to response to the topic to narrate an alternative realm to understand and project urban expansion in the metropolises. It is with a faith of extreme positivism that such perpetual flight of internal expansions is conceived wherein social bonds are created and cultures are bred.
