Duckling Hill - Research
Duckling Hill was a research project on the informal appropriation of a hill located in the liminal zone between the Tseung Kwan O New Town and the Sai Kung Country Park in Hong Kong. A group of elderly people living in the nearby Tseung Kwan O Aged Care Complex acted as guides to the area and shared stories about the making of the installation for the hill. This investigation was the subject of two courses taught at the Polytechnic University (PolyU) and included a series of workshops on the design of a pavilion requested by the elders as a tool to support their voice on the District Council. The research was presented in an exhibition at PolyU’s School of Design and published in a newspaper called The People of Duckling Hill.
