Designed by the Architectural Services Department, the Hong Kong Garden represents the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region?s (HKSAR) participation in the 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exposition which is one of the major international events in China in 2019.

The Garden is approximately 2,000 sq.m in area. The theme of the Hong Kong Garden is the ?City of Contrast?. The design of the Garden juxtaposes two contrasting conditions: the representation of a legible urban fabric and hyperdense condition in Hong Kong and its serene agricultural environment. The Hong Kong Garden invites visitors to unveil the multi-faceted experience of Hong Kong. We envision the Hong Kong Garden is a process and opportunity for experimentation and exploration of architectural representations, construction methods, and initiatives that could be embodied in future architectural projects in Hong Kong. To represent the urban experience and to imagine how a hyper-dense urban environment could interact with nature which is one of the key quests for urbanism of this era.
The project aims to:

– Visualize and represent the city of density which constantly transforms in space and time overlapped with memories;

– Transcend conventional construction material in an innovative way that exceeds their common functions;

– Explore the aesthetic value of the edible landscape and re-establish the linkage between our daily life and nature.
