About the IWUL and the Exhibition
International Workshop on Urban Landscape (IWUL) is an annual international workshop held by landscape architecture undergraduate programmes from Asian universities in Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Hong Kong. This year, THEi’s landscape architecture program had the honour to host IWUL with the theme ‘Resilient Cities’. The research site is Pokfulam Village, one of the last remaining squatter village on Hong Kong Island. The workshop had five main research themes, namely district-level water systems, village-level water systems, hygiene and waste, culture and land, and vacant land and underused sites. IWUL 2021 was held online from 2 to 10 August, including 8 public online seminars on various topics of landscape resilience, virtual site visits to Pokfulam Village and other relevant sites, design workshops, and a final presentation.
To further the discussion and awareness on the topic of resilient cities, two post-workshop exhibitions were held. The first show was exhibited at THEi Exhibition Hall in October, while this second round takes place in Pokfulam Village.
