"Hats Off to All Who Make Magic in Space” Hong Kong Placemaking Archive Exhibition & SharingVery Hong Kong

What do you think of when you first hear the word “Home”?

Do you think of a soft, well-worn bedspread with a desk nearby, each adorned with its own charm? Or perhaps a bowl of steaming soup, sitting gently on the table, waiting for you to come home and feel the day’s weariness melting away?

‘Homes’ are not just physical spaces. They can be a form of tethering, a style of living, and a sense of community belonging.

Placemaking is the extension of the boundaries of ‘home’ to a whole community. A group of people, within the same space, come together to harmonise, symphonise, intertwine, and galvanise one another, fearlessly sculpting a shared vision of the future. Space, as a result, is endowed with a new meaning. Through placemaking, we become fellow travellers, joining hands in shaping our vision of the places we call home. The “magic” of placemaking comes from the love we harbour for our communities, the devotion we hold for creating a future of promise, and the blood, sweat, and tears we’ve shared throughout the voyage of placemaking.

The essence of magic is not an illusion, the creation of ‘home’ is never a coincidence. Join us to indulge yourself in 100 intriguing stories of how ‘homes’ were made, retrace the footsteps of the people behind these tales, and experience for yourself the magic of placemaking.
