This project aims to use the language of extending, embedding and triangular to create a series of intersection spaces between the gap of two cemeteries and straight- cut bluff in Hong Kong (Happy Valley) Cemetery.
Hong Kong (Happy Valley) Cemetery is one of the early Christian cemeteries in Hong Kong dating to its colonial era beginning in 1845. It is located beside the racecourse at Happy Valley, along with the Jewish Cemetery, Hindu Cemetery, Parsee Cemetery, St. Michael's Catholic Cemetery and the Muslim Cemetery.
The created intersection space and reoriented circulation can create vantage points for visitors and family’s from two cultures to get to know each other’s culture but not necessarily to fuse. A sequence of vantage points were created. Original big trees were kept and original barren rock surface is designed to experience ecological succession.
