MERGE — Cultural Village
by Lee Ka Hei, Joyous



A house is more than a living space: it is a living style. The way cultures meet in a village to form new living attitudes can redefine the meaning of community.
In recent years, the importance of privacy and protection has increased as neighbourhood communities weaken and people grow distrustful of each other.
The purpose of MERGE — Cultural Village is to build community by encouraging people to interact and communicate with each other in a relaxed and open environment. Young people from different nationalities between the ages of 20 and 25, and who live in Hong Kong are welcome to join this alternative living experience. By redefining the meaning of ‘neighborhood,’ this living experience will maximize the possibility of mutual trust.
房屋是人與他們熟悉的人居住的庇護所。房屋不僅僅是生活空間,更是一種生活風格。在一個“村莊”中,Merge是探索文化如何相遇以形成一種新的生活態度並重新定義“社區”含義的項目。
近年來,隱私和保護意識的重要性越來越高,鄰居關係和互動變得越來越冷淡,人們更變得多疑。
這個項目的目的是鼓勵人們通過居住在輕鬆、開放的環境中進行互動和溝通。歡迎不同國籍在香港居住的20至25歲的年輕人加入這種另類的生活體驗。 通過重新定義“鄰居”的含義,這種生活經驗將使人們相互信任的可能性最大化。
