An open stage installation was set in the Festival "Kwai Tsing Daily", designed by independent design collective HOUR25. The festival "Kwai Tsing Daily" will be held in the West Kowloon Cultural District, it is a participatory experience for locals to share their story about the Kwai Tsing District in a creative form. There will be open stage, workshops, fair and photo exhibition. 

Kwai Tsing District has a very distinct urbanism with massive and pale-colored housing and colorful shipping containers.

The installation is inspired by the shipping container of Kwai Tsing, these foldable modules can also be used as temporary furniture.  The hollow design is adopted for the strong wind in the site.
