As architects, we understand and rise to the responsibilities we face from the life-changing impacts of climate change already being felt across the world, and our role in averting further global temperature rises and biodiversity loss.
Architecture is fundamentally about our quality of life — people, places, communities, the natural environment and the planet we inhabit. By looking beyond the now widely recognised limitations of carbon accounting and offsetting, there is an opportunity to enact real and effective change. We recognise that tackling the climate emergency demands a holistic approach that respects that these entities together form a mutually inter-dependent system.

Digital
Placemaking
Placemaking
Digital placemaking is a term we coined to encapsulate the data-driven processes harnessing place and people data analytics. Spatial pedestrian network analysis akin to ‘Space Syntax’ gives us the first of these—the potential of a place. Second, the people data can come from sources such as anonymized mobile phone data for dwell time, journey and demographics from which we identify foot traffic and use patterns in and around a location. With these in tandem, along with a dose of architectural intuition, we can pinpoint potential improvements to a development’s footfall—from conceptual planning stages to post-completion—that can then be feed into a predictive model of visitor movement, generating quantifiable proposals that we and our clients can evaluate.

Urban Diary
Urban Diary
Urban Diary is a non-profit initiative. Established in 2012, it is the first organisation in Hong Kong that has made collecting citizens’ everyday stories its purpose. At Urban Diary, we believe that these commonplace tales are pivotal to comprehending cities and to building a sustainable future. Narrating people’s stories contributes to the strategic aim of promoting sustainability, building digital databases, and organising community events. We use text, audio, illustrations and moving images to capture and make sense of the complex order that embodies Hong Kong.
