ANDY HUNG 洪子健 | BUILD 拼

"Established in 1870, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals has witnessed the growth of Hong Kong. Therefore, I hope to represent the development of this city and the enterprising spirit of its people. When I was envisaging the design, the durable red-white-blue plastic bag, which was invented in Hong Kong, spontaneously came up to my mind.

Our team and I faced an immense challenge in covering the curvy surface of the skateboard with LEGO bricks during the production process. After repeated attempts, we successfully utilised the blocks in different shapes, one after another, exerting the functionality of the LEGO particles to create three red-white-blue patterns. Apart from the grey steering wheels which harmonise with the curve of the skateboard, we also added zipper buckles as embellishments to fully replicate all the elements of red-white-blue plastic bags."- Andy Hung

「東華三院於香港屹立150年，見證香港成長，因此在設計時，我希望可以表現香港的成長與香港人的拼搏精神，自然聯想到誕生於香港又耐用的紅白藍膠袋。

我和團隊在製作時，最大的困難莫過於要將弧形的滑板包覆。經過反復嘗試，以人手逐粒拼搭不同功能的樂高積木顆粒，充分利用樂高顆粒的多樣性，再在表面拼砌出三款紅白藍膠袋的圖案；灰色轉向零件除了完美配合滑板的弧度外，我們更特意加上拉鍊扣作配襯，完整地表現紅白藍膠袋的所有元素。」── 洪子健
