我決定返大陸做，咁靚design 🤦🏻♂️。好玩。
Saying goodbye to our Year-out and Interns. Thank you all for your contribution and effort to Groundwork. Memories never fade away, wishing you all the best in your future journey!
Thanks to CUBE Design, the Cheif Designer team of Longhua District, Shenzhen for inviting @manfredyuen to share on "Architects Build Joy" and the future development of public space within cities.
We are in deep grief for the loss of one of our partners, Fiona Bao’s grandpa, Mr. Song, at the age of 89.
Mr. Song was an esteemed Chinese calligrapher, painter and a leading figure among Anhui art scene. We have the fortune to have our plaque “元新建城" created by him for our Shenzhen office and it was one of his last works. He was beloved by his family, his students and lives that he and his works have touched.
May his soul rest in peace. Our heartfelt condolences to his family.
RIP

Thank you Eduard from world architects for this wonderful review on the Wallflower Music Hall!
It wasn't easy to build a school extension under this context, but we are happy to see the Aesthetics of Density of Hong Kong from this "wall flower"!

The Alliance Primary School (APS) was built in 1992. Hong Kong buildings are infamously densely built and schools like APS are no different. it followed a hall-mark school typology back-then: a multi-storied building where only a courtyard served as its aperture for sunlight.
Addressing a pedagogical evolution
I was educated in an all-boys catholic school back in the 1980s: a brutalist, cold, sleek, and deadly efficient school. There was an elevated platform in the courtyard, where the principal may stand above everyone to spot any mischievous deeds during assemblies and recesses. Back then, schools stood for disciplines, not happiness.
APS felt that music is integral for children’s development and it has been a cradle for young musicians and it has a great student orchestra. Yet, APS never had a dedicated rehearsal space.
Perhaps our interventions for APS may signify how education in the 21st Century may have evolved.

Here's a story of a "wallflower" extension growing from a small crack.
The Alliance Primary School (APS) was built in 1990s. Hong Kong buildings are infamously densely built and schools like APS are no different. it followed a hall-mark school typology back-then: a multi-storied building where only a courtyard served as its aperture for sunlight. APS felt that music is integral for children’s development and it has been a cradle for young musicians and it has a great student orchestra. Yet, APS never had a dedicated rehearsal space.
The only outdoor space for the school will be its courtyard, which is around 200 sq.m, it was also where we would build over with the music hall. We do not wish to sacrifice this precious out-door space. Thus, we hovered the music hall above the courtyard, which would retain the courtyard space by converting it into a semi-outdoor auditorium and playground area, hence gaining a music hall.
It has been a few months since the music hall started to operate and we have been fortunate to witness its actions. We see children running and playing underneath the music hall. Their smiley faces warm our hearts.
