Hong Kong Flower Show 2023
The “Pavilion of Blessing and Love” at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2023 greeted some 70,000 visitors with its theme flower “hydrangea” through the seamless integration of architectural space and landscape arrangement.
The dynamic curved feature walls of the pavilion were made of bamboo, a local, traditional and renewable construction material. Decorated with a vibrant diversity of hydrangea, the pavilion was filled with intriguing scents of daily life conveying various positive meanings in floriography. For example, blue represents romance and happiness; purple represents warmth and reunion; white represents hope and purity; pink represents hope and love; and red represents festive reunion.
The landscape and architectural features were designed to create a feeling of happiness and a welcoming experience. Visitors could appreciate the exquisite arrangement of plants, lighting, and sculptures as they walked through the display. The iconic design of the pavilion was recognised with the Gold Award for Outstanding Exhibit (Landscape Display) at the show.
