Following
a
series
of
work
to
facilitate
the
transformation
of
Kowloon
East,
the
Energizing
Kowloon
East
Office
(EKEO)
of
the
Development
Bureau
commissioned
a
consultancy
team
comprising
academics
and
professionals
to
conduct
the
Industrial
Heritage
Study
of
Kowloon
East
in
late
2012.
The
study
recorded
the
vibrant
and
diverse
industrial
culture
of
Kwun
Tong
and
Kowloon
Bay
and
the
stories
of
these
districts,
and
explored
the
strategies
by
integrating
and
transforming
these
collective
treasures
and
urban
spaces
in
a
way
that
can
break
new
ground
in
the
organic
development
of
Hong
Kong
and
its
quality
of
life.
The
transformation
of
Tsun
Yip
Street
Playground
Phase
1
in
Kwun
Tong
is
the
first
project
to
showcase
how
the
findings
of
the
study
can
be
incorporated
in
designs
to
enhance
public
spaces.
In
this
connection,
the
EKEO
and
the
Leisure
and
Cultural
Services
Department
invited
the
Community
Project
Workshop
of
the
Faculty
of
Architecture
at
the
University
of
Hong
Kong
to
be
the
Exhibition
Installation
Planning
of
the
project,
to
plan
an
exhibition
on
the
theme
of
the
"Spirit
of
Creation",
the
essence
of
economic
development
in
Hong
Kong,
while
injecting
the
study's
outcomes
into
the
design
of
this
public
space.
Recounting
the
stories
of
the
generation
that
spared
no
effort
in
constructing
Hong
Kong,
the
exhibition
aims
to
inspire
us
with
direction,
to
pass
on
the
spirit
of
perseverance,
boldness,
innovation
and
to
build
a
broader
and
brighter
future.
In
addition
to
implanting
an
architectural
character
into
the
public
space,
a
discovery
map
is
designed
to
introduce
distinctive
spots
with
historical,
architectural
and
cultural
value
in
Kowloon
East,
which
encourage
the
public
to
explore
and
appreciate
the
industrial
culture
and
development
of
the
district,
thus
inspiring
their
expectations
for
the
future
and
sustaining
the
creative
spirit
that
has
led
us
to
where
we
are
today.
Details
of
the
study
can
be
found
on
the
EKEO's
