Thinking out of the Box – Technology Propels a New Era in Landscape Architecture

Mr. Paul CHAN, our President of the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects and Vice-chairman of Landscape Architects Registration Board shared his latest proposition of applying Mi-infinity concept in transitional housing projects and the latest technological advancement in the landscape architecture arena during his visit to CIC-Zero Carbon Park.

Paul shared that Mi-infinity concept matches perfectly with the need of transitional housing projects and he also mentioned that this successful application has inspired many other projects into considering “Mi-Landscape”. Besides, he highlighted that technology played an important role in forecasting potential conflicts between planned design and the natural environment.

Finally, Paul suggested that it is also the government’s vision to promote advanced construction technology and at the same time collect environmental data for better planning since he believes that Hong Kong landscape architects should catch on this global trend and grasp this golden opportunity to modernise the trade and create better landscape for the city we love.
