BA (Hons) in Landscape Architecture
"Hello! I’m Sandy, a final-year Landscape Architecture student. I’m truly passionate about creating greener and more livable cities, especially in high-density urban areas like Hong Kong. With a previous background in interior design and valuable hands-on experience from my 2025 summer internship with the Landscape Management Team, I’ve developed a deep love for transforming challenging spaces into beautiful, functional, and sustainable environments. My current graduation project, Mong Kok Link: Green Skyways, focuses on turning Mong Kok into a vibrant elevated green corridor that connects people with nature and community. To me, landscape architecture is not just about designing pretty spaces — it’s about healing the city, enhancing everyday life, and building more resilient and caring communities for everyone. I’m always excited to meet like-minded people and collaborate on meaningful projects. Looking forward to creating better urban spaces together!"
Mong Kok Link: Green Skyways is a visionary elevated pedestrian green corridor proposed along Ferry Street, linking Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui in one of Hong Kong’s densest urban districts. Inspired by the URA’s Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok District Study, the project transforms fragmented open spaces into a vibrant, multi-level leisure landmark.
By integrating lush sky gardens, cycling paths, community plazas, cultural pods, and ecological zones, it enhances walkability, mitigates the urban heat island effect, improves ventilation, and revitalizes aging Tong Lau buildings while preserving cultural heritage. The organic ring-chain design fosters connectivity, recreation, and sustainability, turning Mong Kok into a greener, more livable, and resilient urban hub for residents and tourists alike.
旺角連結：綠色天際廊 是一條具前瞻性的高架行人綠色走廊，擬建於渡船街沿線，連接旺角與大角咀，位於香港最密集的市區之一。本項目受市區重建局《油麻地及旺角地區研究》啟發，將零散的開放空間轉化為充滿活力的多層次休憩地標。
透過整合空中花園、單車徑、社區廣場、文化閱讀艙及生態區域，項目提升步行便利性、緩解城市熱島效應、改善通風，並活化老舊唐樓，同時保留文化遺產。有機環鏈設計促進連通性、休憩活動與可持續發展，將旺角打造成更綠色、更宜居及更具韌性的城市樞紐，惠及居民與遊客。
