🌿 [Workshop Recap: NbS Action Week] 🌿

Yesterday, our HKILA members co-hosted and participated in a full-day workshop on the last day of the NbS Action Week, focusing on cross-border resource management, nature-based design, and multi-stage stakeholder engagement across the Shenzhen-Hong Kong region.

It was an inspiring convergence of expertise. We worked with professionals from environmental science, finance, governance, and social engagement—all critical disciplines that partner with landscape architects to deliver successful, enduring NbS projects. 👷🏻

A sincere thank you to Columbia Climate School for curating the workshop, also The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Civic Exchange, and IUCN for organizing this impactful event in Hong Kong!

Looking ahead, we are eager to carry this momentum into IFLA World Congress 2026 this October! Let’s continue designing resilient environments where human communities and nature thrive together. 🌱🌿🌳

🌿 學會代表出席第15屆中國（溫州）國際園林博覽會

香港園境師學會（HKILA）日前赴溫州出席4月15-16日舉辦的第15屆中國（溫州）國際園林博覽會。

本會會長陳彥璘博士在古榕樹下，以「創造可持續花園的十種方法」為題，強調專業園境需直面公眾，方能使設計方案更貼合人文需求與社區綠化脈動。以人為本的社區設計更是構建具氣候韌性公共空間的關鍵。

陳博士及前任會長陳元敬先生，亦分別於「國際園林文化交流項目」發表演講。此次專業交流成果豐碩，更為本會將於今年10月28日至30日在港主辦的業界盛事——「2026年國際園境師聯盟（IFLA）世界暨亞太區大會」作好充份準備。

🌿 HKILA at the 15th China International Garden Expo

The HKILA is pleased to report on our official delegation to Wenzhou for the 15th China International Garden Expo on 15–16 April 2026.

Our President, Dr. Yin-lun Chan, presented under an ancient banyan tree, on "Ten Ways to Create a Sustainable Garden", highlighting how direct community feedback allows landscape architecture to truly align with human needs and urban greening workflows. Community-centric design is essential for climate-resilient public spaces.

Dr. Chan and the Immediate Past President, Mr. Paul Chan, both delivered key speeches at the "International Garden Culture Exchange Program." The fruitful exchange serves as an excellent milestone as we prepare to host the IFLA World Congress 2026 in Hong Kong this October.

2026年5月9日，香港園境師學會舉辦了粵港澳大灣區香港風景園林/園境專業人才職稱評價宣講會，向會員介紹內地職稱評價制度及申請。

「職稱」是內地對專業技術人員的學術技術水平和專業能力所給予的評價。在2023年初，發展局與廣東省人力資源和社會保障廳及廣東省科學技術協會展開多輪談判，成功為香港專業人才量身制定了一套內地職稱評審及評價機制。

宣講會由學會前會長陳元敬作介紹，再由粵港澳大灣區港澳工程專業人才高級職稱評審委員會辦公室主任劉桂雄教授及發展局首席助理秘書長（工務）梁瀚雲先生向與會者解釋宣講職稱評價的詳情。

職稱評審申請現已展開，欲知詳情，請密切留意會員電郵。

Euphen Wong 黃若葶 @ 活化翠屏河駐地盤園境師
【從河道活化到心靈綠洲：以人為本的設計實踐】

昔日毫不起眼的觀塘敬業街明渠，如今已搖身一變成為市民可駐足、感受、連結的翠屏河公共空間。這條河流的轉變，源自場地原有的自然條件，並結合了社區參與與空間重塑，也具體展現了當代園境設計如何回應城市與人之間的關係。

🙋🏻‍♀️ 活化翠屏河項目現場素材豐富，可否分享您運用場地原有資源及融合新舊元素的設計思路？
Euphen：翠屏河項目現場的素材繁多：大榕樹、水流、潮汐漲退、日落景致、雀鳥、魚類、橋底空間、回收木材及石礦場大型花崗岩等。在規劃保育現有素材及融入新元素時，我們以觀塘區的民生為本，反覆衡量新、舊及外來元素的協調，在滿足防洪功能之餘，亦着力提升整區的河畔近水體驗。

🙋🏻‍♀️ 您認為項目有哪些特點，令功能性明渠成功轉化成具社區意義的公共空間？
Euphen：這主要體現在幾個方面。首先是與市民密切溝通，將其需要融入設計；其次是透過興建跨河通道及人工浮島，實現民生與河道的「共融」，讓市民能從多角度了解及欣賞翠屏河。我們亦善用觀塘繞道橋底空間建立「觀心圓」，為大眾提供戶外正念靜觀空間；並以無障礙通道貫通翠屏邨至茶果嶺海濱及觀塘海濱一帶，為居民及生態提供長達1公里的綠化走廊。

🙋🏻‍♀️ 這個項目的綠化設計與佈局主要受哪些因素影響？
Euphen：河道空間修長且部分位於結構面上，泥深不足以種植新樹或提供廣闊的休閒空間。為此我們轉向運用現場榕樹建成林蔭走道，並鋪設需泥較淺的大草坪，為市民提供舒展身心的綠化空間。

🙋🏻‍♀️ 作為駐地盤園境師，您能分享在項目中最感自豪的一個細節嗎？
Euphen：是參與設計本港標誌性的正念空間「觀心圓」。過程中與各方面的專家磋商，注重每一個細節（every detail matters），從空間規劃、建材選擇、顏色配搭、燈光效果、處理回收木材及石礦場花崗岩，並配合帶動正念靜觀的文字及圖案，建成滋養身心靈的空間。

🙋🏻‍♀️ 近年時有強烈暴風，各界又開始關注生物多樣性議題，您認為作為園境師在未來應優先強化哪些元素？
Euphen：關鍵在於以創意融合及平衡各種元素。無論面對天氣變化、生物多樣性、空間運用還是設計美觀度等議題，最終目標都是為市民建造安全、舒適及有幸福感的生活環境。
