Triptych: three views on the power of place and memory | 三聯作：場所與記憶能量的三面觀

Meaningful, loved places have rich histories that enable people to form and share collective memories. The most treasured of them echo from the past and into the future, building on a narrative that interconnects generations and shapes the cultural identity of a city.

In this exhibition, Hassell explores how the built environment, semantics and storytelling are the key ingredients to preserving a cultural identity, building resilience and ultimately, place making. We look at the role that the urban fabric plays in the unique city culture in a city like Hong Kong, and in turn how this fabric nurtures the creation of shared, collective memories through three different lenses.

The pandemic has caused disruption to many perceived bastions of cultural resilience, however, there’s been a silver lining to this as well: we have been forced to look inwards and be more resourceful. The result has been a leap in the local Hong Kong scene which is thriving again, in some ways stronger than before – and is very much a part of the next chapter of memories and identity of the city.

The BODW theme of Reflect • Refresh • Reset invites us to explore not just what it means to do that, but how we can create spaces that capture the purest and most authentic expressions of resilient city culture.

深受人們喜愛的，有意義的場所往往擁有豐富的歷史，集體記憶也隨之產生，並通過敘事連起幾代人，從而形成城市文化特征。Hassell將在此展覽中探索為何建成環境、語義學和故事對保存文化特征、打造共同記憶極為關鍵。

文化韌性受到了疫情的干擾，但烏雲總有金邊：我們開始向內審視，更擅於應變，香港也隨之再度繁榮，甚至在某些方面發展得比以往更強大 — 而這也將成為這座城市下一篇章的記憶。

今年設計營商周的主題為深思Reflect•煥然Refresh• 一新Reset，我們藉此探索如何打造能夠捕捉到最純粹、推動最真實韌性城市文化的場所。
