Hoho Hehe Haha Valley (2020)

Artist: Kay Chan
Artwork material: Metal, EPDM and composite acrylic solid surface
Location: Choi Yee Bridge Garden


Inspired by the surrounding environment of Choi Yee Bridge Garden and the common vision shared by the Tuen Mun
community, artist Kay Chan designed a charming series of little emoticons. She also integrated three natural elements – river, tree and mountain – into the garden, encouraging the public to explore the three sets of art installations with their imagination, adding to the "fun element" of the space. "River" draws its inspiration from the Tuen Mun River; the varying heights of the seating allow the public to enjoy views of the river and observe migratory birds from different angles. "Tree" draws its inspiration from the egretry at Tuen Mun and allows people to feel like they are in a home protected by the Tree. "Mountain" draws its inspiration from the landscape of Castle Peak; the artist hopes that the miniature hills will encourage community interaction and bring attention to environmental protection issues.






Design Intension of Hoho Hehe Haha Valley:

Tuen Mun has a unique historical background, which involves rich elements of stories about the natural scenery. The artwork, Hoho Hehe Haha Valley, in Choi Yee Bridge Garden’s Viva! River, merges the elements of extraordinary stories in Tuen Mun to the design of public furniture.


The design of Choi Yee Bridge Garden has been divided into three parts, which represents three essential elements of Tuen Mun – river, tree and mountain. In use of the three elements, a series of little emoticons have been created, pouring vitality and charm to the garden.


River: It draws its inspiration from the Tuen Mun River, as the evidence of changes in Tuen Mun. It also allows the public to enjoy views of the river and observe migratory birds from different angles, and raises concerns on the ecology of the riverside.


Tree: Public furniture stands aside the trees in different forms. As a home located in the park, it guards the ones who rest, read, talk and have picnics beneath the trees, and enjoy the nature and peace in lives brought by the trees.


Mountain: Transforming the landscape of Castle Peak into miniature hills, everyone can step on the hills and play around. After sunset, the tiny eyes of the art installations will be lightened up, like a group of attentive little emoticons, providing guidance of the route towards home with warm light.


In spite of the design of the garden’s hardware, we specially provide software,

the park illustration book. We believe that a park can not only perform its fundamental function of leisure, but also a place for education. It allows children to learn social skills and develop their potential while playing. Characteristics such as bravery, creativity, etc. can be cultivated gradually. Utilizing the illustration book with the park, offered an additional level of learning for easier projection to the stories. It combined the history of Tuen Mun, ecology and creative emoticons to raise community concerns on conservation. As such, people can have a more wholesome view on the meaning of the parks’ existence in the community.

河樹山家族 (2020)

藝術家：陳韻淇
創作物料：金屬、橡膠及人造石
作品位置：蔡意橋花園



啓發自蔡意橋花園的周邊環境及屯門社區的共同構想，藝術家陳韻淇特別設計了一系列趣致的精靈角色，並將河、樹、山三種自然元素融入花園，鼓勵市民以豐富的想像力去發掘花園中的三組藝術裝置，以提升遊園樂趣。「河」的設計概念取自屯門河，高低不一的藝術座椅予公眾以不同角度欣賞河景、觀賞候鳥。「樹」的概念取自屯門的鷺鳥林，讓人感受一個被「樹」守護的家。「山」的概念取自屯門的青山景觀，藝術家期望透過「迷你山丘」的設計，帶動社區關注保護環境生態的議題。



《河樹山家族》 設計初衷:

屯門本身有悠久獨特的地方歷史，當中包含豐富的風物故事元素。在「非凡！屯門河」蔡意橋花園的設計作品《河樹山家族》，將屯門獨有的故事元素分別融入公園內的公共家具設計中。


蔡意橋花園的設計分三部份，代表了屯門的三個主要元素:河、 樹、山。圍繞著這三個元素，創作出一系列公園精靈的造型，為公園設計增添生命力和趣味。


河: 概念取自屯門河，見證屯門歷來的變遷，亦能讓人以不同角度欣賞河景、觀賞候鳥，關注河岸的自然生態。


樹: 公共家具以各種形態陪伴在樹旁，如同一個在公園的家，守候著人來到樹蔭下休息、看書、閒談或野餐，享受樹木帶給人自然平和的生活。


山: 將屯門青山景觀微縮成迷你山丘，人人都可輕鬆隨意踏上迷你山丘之間跑跑跳跳。日落之後，這些藝術裝置的小眼睛便亮起來，好像公園一群體貼精靈，溫暖的微光指引歸家的路。


除了公園的硬件設計，我們特別配上軟件: 公園專屬繪本。因為我們相信公園在基本的休憩功能以外，是可以作為教育的場所，讓孩童在玩樂時學習社交技巧、發展內在潛能，不知不覺 間培養到勇氣、創意等等特質。這次透過繪本配搭公園去使用，提供多一個層次的學習，令人更容易代入故事中，結合屯門歷史、環境生態和創意角色，帶動社區關注保育的議題。這樣大家去認識一個公園的時候，就能更全面看到公園在社區中的存在有更深的意義。
