As a public parasol for Hong Kong's subtropical climate, Urban Living Lab creates a community respite for gathering. Strategically planned around existing palm trees to maximize shade and facilitate cooling breezes, the architecture integrates modern fabrication with traditional galvanized steel crafts through local collaboration, successfully reviving the neighborhood's collective memory.
