PROJECT BACKGROUND

My concept was inspired by the operation mode of the quarry industry in Lei Yue Mun.In the area of Old Lei Yue Mun Quarry, I observed that people’s activities, whether passive or active, have much to do with the sizes or arrangement of rocks. There is a relationship between man and space, in which the land provides some opportunity for people to define or redefine its usage. Moreover, as all the existing sceneries are from the remains of the old quarry industry, the stonemasons are not expected to be of any use nowadays. Hence, it is like a beyond-time conversation. I try to develop different possibilities based on the historical background of the stone mining industry.
