Waterfronts in major cities are a place of human activities, allowing the public to enjoy the edge between land and sea. In Hong Kong, too often water frontage designs take a backseat to the economic need for reclamation, freeway expansion, transport stations, and private property development. In this course, students will learn about the positive contribution of a well-conceived waterfront to the living hood of the cities’ dwellers through case studies, research on the historical development of waterfronts, site visits, and take an active role in the re-imaging of our waterfronts through discourse and design project.
