Play Instructions
This is the "Yushan" of Chinese mythology, which is the residence of the Queen Mother. The warrior monkey Sun Wukong once played here.
This is architecture; it is also artwork and a very large toy.
Groundwork was commissioned by the Hong Kong government 18 months ago to conduct field research and advice on the future public playgrounds’ policies.
Future play spaces should be:
1) Simple and abstract.
2) Adventurous and artistic.
3) Beautiful; as they formed part of our civic prides.
Social and humanistic designs are the core works of Groundwork, thus, we feel obligated to be doing more for our future generation.
We are honored to have Eugene Leung, a musician, fashion designer and the co-founder of The Injury and FFFriday, to compose the background music for this space.
