Our project aims to build new structures to assist the existing structures between Happy Park and Run Run Shaw, without destroying it which would cause serious damage, both environmentally and socially. We would achieve this by the introduction of natural elements through vegetation and the water harvesting system, and the introduction of science through the roller coaster system.<\/p>\n
First, we noticed that Happy Park, unlike what its name suggests, lacks greenery space for people to directly interact with natural elements, urging a need for the introduction of an approachable, friendly, short grassland.<\/p>\n
Our project sheds light on another important natural element – water. Through the water harvesting system, HKU students can realize that water is not as frightening during rainy days, but instead could be an form of entertainment.<\/p>\n
Lastly, we would like to achieve what we\u00a0have just mentioned – \u201cmore than happiness\u201d through the roller coaster system. This system not only adds some fun to the stressful environment during exam periods, but also generates electricity through the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, which is usually lost as heat finally, and saves this little bit as electricity.<\/p>\n
Our project would be large, but to view this in another way, a large project can make people more aware of our work, and thus help arouse students\u2019 attention to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
