The parks they are-a-changin?

I've visited a few parks this week and I noticed that there weren't any yellow banners in any of them (and these were parks that had previously been absolutely plastered with them). Has anyone else noticed this? Stay tuned!

More on park design

I attended the Great Cities Great Parks - Public Spaces and Connections "Dialogue with Arhitects - The West Kowloon Cultural District Series discussion organised by CDI and as the topic was related to Freedom Ball's work was asked to give some thoughts as part of the discussion panel.
You can see the video of the presentations/discussion here:

The gates are open!

Well, we kind of had our first concrete result with the test case space at Ap Lei Chau Park (see below). The LCSD have agreed that the gates will remain open at all times so that the public can access the space. We tried to persuade them to take away the fence and gates altogether so that the space was completely open but they have at least agreed to give the public access to the space. It's a start! Meanwhile the park design review process goes on and I'll be meeting people from the Hong Kong Design Centre on Monday as part of that process and I'll let you know how that goes.
