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…..

Recently at HKIA Hong Kong International Airport  joining the airport team to combat the coronavirus is the Intelligent Sterilisation Robot (ISR). The robot can move autonomously and sterilise up to 99.99% of bacteria and virus in the air and on object surfaces using UV light, 360-degree disinfection spray-heads and 0.3um air filtering. The sterilisation process could be as short as 10 minutes. With the technology developed in Hong Kong, this robot has been used mainly in hospitals. HKIA is the world’s first airport to deploy the sterilisation robot in airport operations.

機場最近找來一位新成員協助抵抗疫情。這款Intelligent Sterilisation Robot (ISR)智能消毒機械人可全自動化移動，並以紫外線消毒燈﹑360度消毒噴頭及0.3um空氣過濾器，消滅在空氣中及物件表面上近99.99%的細菌及病毒，過程最快只需10分鐘。 此項技術由本地科研公司硏發，以往多用於醫院，而香港國際機場是全球首個機場應用此智能消毒機械人。

 It is always our first priority to ensure the health and safety of our passengers and staff. In response to COVID-19, we have stepped up our measures at HKIA to combat the coronavirus.

保障機場旅客及員工的健康和安全是我們的首要任務。面對2019冠狀病毒病疫情，我們已加強機場的防疫措施。

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.

【”Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” 61號電車展覽】

ceekayello（CKL）深信：藝術應該是屬於任何人，不分時間、不分地點都能擁有的。

由2020年4月16日至2020年6月23日，由 Amanda Tong、Frédéric Bussière、GoHung 和松村 淳創作的四幅特定場地藝術品會在行駛中的電車上展出，讓所有乘客在此標誌性的交通工具上乘坐時都能欣賞新奇有趣的雕塑作品和裝置。

香港電車是全港唯一在本地採用傳統手工藝和技術進行設計和製造的交通工具，因此「Classic Craft, Modern Meaning」選擇了在香港電車上進行展覽以表彰其文化和歷史意義，希望向本地手工技藝致敬，讓公眾可近距離接觸傳統藝術的魅力，從而回饋社會。

從 Amanda 捕捉麻雀洗牌時互相擊打的聲音而創作的新奇互動陶瓷裝置，到 Frédéric 運用電車行駛動態時所觸發雀鳥的優美動態，再到淳利用上層甲板窗戶而滲透迷人自然光的陶瓷裝置藝術，以及 GoHung 的沉浸式藝術作品，讓乘客以新角度於電車中體驗籠中鳥的生活…

通過 CKL 於電車上精心策展的藝術品，他們希望以創造性和現代的方式，為這些值得我們尊敬的本土手工（Classic Craft）注入現代意義（Modern Meaning）。
