Current as the evolution of the Tramways trams as seen in many countless times in which some have been modified into mobile museum exhibitions, mobile interactive art centers, into a mobile events center that travels as one of Hong Kong Innovative advertising billboards that travel along the Tramways line on Hong Kong Island is a double-decker driverless tram designed for the city of Hong Kong in the post-Covid era. This highly innovative design concept incorporates industrial design, transportation design, public design, urban mobility and sustainability. The project includes exterior, interior and tram stop design. With the Coronavirus pandemic, people are shunning public transport and relying much more on private transport. We wanted to reimagine public transport in the post-Covid era from a prevention perspective….Especially in the densely populated city of Hong Kong, where social distancing is hard to achieve……..

Designed by Andrea Pointi a Hong Kong Italian designer in which his studio Ponti Design Studio Ltd….. Unit 1004, 10th Floor, Hollywood Centre,…233 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong SAR- China-People’s Republic of China.. ..

Ponti Design Studio concepts conceptualised The idea of designing a tram is no coincidence: trams are one of the city’s landmarks and the tramways celebrate their 116th anniversary this year. The concept of social distancing, which limits people’s freedom to move and interact became the design challenge and focal point for the new concept. The name Island references the innovative design of the interiors, where large circular benches facilitate social distancing and passengers sit facing outwards in a radial pattern. The exterior design is inspired by the Hong Kong urban landscape, which features vast surfaces of glass and rounded-corner buildings. Natural light floods the interiors during the day through the curved windows and a domed top, which also provide awe-inspiring views at night. ….

The driverless technology optimizes the interior space of the tram, making it easier to manage travel times and increase onboard safety. The tram has a retractable connector for rapid charging at tram stops. Large vertical LEDs enhance visibility in all weather conditions. The interior design contrasts with the exterior. Minimalist design, charcoal black walls, soft circular seating, wooden floors and trims with natural finish all create a neutral and friendly environment. This chromatic diversity, in addition to the dark colour palette, frames and accentuates the beauty of the Hong Kong urban landscape. The simple tram stop structure has sleek, essential lines. Being open on both sides, it facilitates a linear, orderly flow of people and a healthier environment. The graphics guide passengers through the boarding and payment process, made by Octopus Card, before boarding. This streamlines the boarding procedure and optimizes the available space inside. Island explores a wide spectrum of design aspects, from the product to the urban landscape. It represents the forward-thinking spirit of Hong Kong, and introduces a new concept of public transport that overcomes the practice of social distancing. We shouldn’t be dividing and separating but instead rethinking public spaces with a seamless, integrated and effective design approach…..

In recollecting those untold Tramways stories, in which is like a time machine that collect stories from memorable timeless moments in everyone lives whom travelled within with those historic furnishings also whom watched travelled away as it grew up with the evolution of changing Hong Kong… in which the Hong Kong Tramways have invited you to share your timeless memorable moments as you ride the Ding Ding’s…. in which there’s a mobile Exhibition [“Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” Tram #61 Exhibition] ceekayello (CKL) believes that art should be accessible to anyone, anywhere.

From 16 April to 23 June 2020, four site-specific artworks created by Amanda Tong, Frédéric Bussière, GoHung and Jun Matsumura 松村淳 are each displayed on a moving tram allowing everyone to enjoy the sculptural artworks and installations when travelling on the iconic transportation.

Designed and made using fading crafts and techniques in local tram depots, HK Tramways is chosen by “Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” for its cultural and historical significance to pay tribute to local craftsmanship, and also demonstrates how art could be publicly accessible, as well as a contribution to the society.

Ranging from an interactive ceramics installation by Amanda that captures the sound of Mahjong shuffling, to Frédéric’s animation triggered by the tram movement, Jun’s ceramic installation utilising the natural light from the upper deck window, as well as GoHung’s immersive work that allows passengers to experience the life of a caged bird within the tram…

By displaying these thoughtful artworks in CKL’s carefully curated tram, they hope to demonstrate the relevance of these fading crafts and skills with a creative and contemporary approach, giving modern meaning to these respectful classic crafts.
