A brief is a short version of a case study.
In a city-state with packed landfills and a low recycling rate, the Hong Kong East Community Green Station is an attempt to rethink Hong Kong’s approach to waste. The project sits on a 0.8-acre site beneath an elevated expressway in Shau Kei Wan, a neighborhood on the east side of Hong Kong Island with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Built with recycled and sustainable materials, the site includes recycling facilities as well as educational and community spaces that are meant to expose citizens to the importance of waste reduction.
