20 years into the future, global warming has melted polar glaciers, and the coastal city “Cloud Harbour” is facing imminent destruction due to rising water levels. Our protagonist Kapo travels back to the past to warn citizens, hoping to re-design Cloud Harbour as a floating city. However, she gradually discovers more hidden problems…
Through theatrical storytelling, the programme guides students in understanding their own relationships with global warming, as well as analysing problems and generating possible solutions by using design thinking. In hands-on sessions, students learn to transform their ideas into simple architectural models.
Led by Littleurbanmoutain Design, the programme is joined by cross-disciplinary creatives including architects, designers, artisans, crafters, and theatre educators. Through a series of interactive activities, the team will lead P.3 and P.4 students to solve problems using design thinking techniques.
The teaching team led by Littleurbanmountain is comprised of multi-disciplinary local creatives, including architects, designers, makers/craftsmen and drama educators. The team will guide students in experiencing the process of design thinking through the creative workshop.
Littleurbanmountain is a collaborative platform that focuses on architecture, interior design and art in Hong Kong. Founded by architect Bong Yeung and theatre artist Lai Sim Fong in 2017, Littleurbanmountain is keen on exploring the relationship between architecture and human condition. Started by working on projects related to sustainable design and social architecture, the team now also creates art installations and participates in community, architectural and interior design projects.
In this age of technology, people have come to forget the pleasures of being in nature. While there has been a surge in camping activity due to pandemic restrictions, we are faced with problems involving destructive exploitation of natural resources.
This programme places kids in camping scenarios to inspire their sensory experiences of natural life. Through the application of design thinking, participating kids are prompted to create thoughtful solutions for empathising with the world, in order to find a balance between camping culture and environmental protection.
Led by AaaM Architects and partnering with innovation and technology group Tiebusa Design, the programme combines both teams’ strengths to create an educational experience with the theme “City Camping - Empathising Nature", which explores the perspectives of different camping participants. The result is a fun-filled adventure with a focus on cultivating empathy and social values.
AaaM Architects - AaaM (Architecture as a Medium), founded by three local young architects, believes that architecture can be a far-reaching medium for cultural and human interaction. The studio is passionate in promoting architectural and design culture, through architectural design, installations, writings, event and workshop curation etc. Apart from design related projects, AaaM also has rich experience in conducting education and public engagement programmes.

高小組的參與同學在夏令營經歷了不同露營情境，當中他們透過觀察發現及分析問題，再運用設計思維，創作出各樣產品，希望解決人與大自然可能會出現的衝突。初小組的同學則以同理心出發，透過了解特定目標用戶的資訊及需要，設計出最合適他們居住的可持續城市，最後更以漂浮模型展示成果。
