Realising our New Central Harbourfront x AI Project
With the goal of fostering public engagement with cutting-edge technology, the Group launched a “Realising Our New Central Harbourfront x AI” project throughout September and October 2023. Using generative AI technology, this exciting project invited participants to embrace emerging technologies in envisaging possibilities for the upcoming Central waterfront promenade, which in turn encouraged them to seek inspiration from innovation and nurture creativity to build the future.
The blueprints of the New Central Harbourfront from two different perspectives, namely an aerial base image and a fountain square base image, were made available to participants who could enter command prompts to generate a visual that aligned with their own vision for the space.
For instance, in the aerial base image, the prompt “Energy Conservation” may put solar panels or wind CASE STUDY: Realising our New Central Harbourfront x AI Project turbines along the seashore, while the prompts of “Low Carbon Life” could plant trees towering in the warm sunshine and “Art and Culture” might showcase a largescale concert with water dancing and fireworks. On the other hand, the fountain square base image offers an opportunity for participants to generate leisure facilities, with commands like “Biodiversity” filling the space around the fountain with flowers, birds and butterflies, “Shopping and Dining” filling the square with different outdoor booths, and “Healthy Lifestyle” adding slow-living activities like yoga, jogging and picnicking - a glimpse of an ideal future for ourselves and future generations.
After inserting these command prompts, the AI then generated exclusive concept maps based on these prompts, which were collected for display via social media.
In addition to this remarkable undertaking, the Group also collaborated with The Hong Kong Association of Youth Groups to organise AI Workshops, which were dedicated to educating participants on the latest technology trends. These workshops served as excellent platforms to encourage people to familiarise themselves with AI technologies while at the same time promoting engagement with the ever-evolving landscape of urban development.
