On 18 September 2022 (Sunday), Professor Thomas Chung (Associate Professfor, School of Architecture), the main character featured in Cubic Zine's latest cover story, led his team to organize the first-ever Project Plum Grove Festival to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the revitalization of Mui Tsz Lam through architectural experiments and preservation. The milestone event was well-received by different stakeholders including government officials, villagers, volunteers, students, and so forth. Supported by the Knowledge Transfer Project Fund (KPF), Prof. Chung's project "Collaborative Conservation: Regenerating Mui Tsz Lam village with Participatory Rebuilding" establishes a collaborative model of village revitalisation in Hong Kong that enables rural community building, as well as strengthen the multi-way interaction between villagers, professionals, volunteers and CUHK students through physical making and social bonding. The team builds on the reuse of locally-sourced, upcycled materials, and pioneer use of new media and technology in built fabric restoration for rural villages.
