《寻声》是特别为香港动植物公园内举行的户外演出而设计的非传统舞台空间。能够发展出如此贴近自然法则与著重地形考量的设计方案，源于一次实地视察，及与作曲家邝展维数次富启发性的交谈。正是邝氏催生了此次跨界别创作，并为此次演出谱写乐曲。

Chasing Sounds is a spatial design for a non-conventional stage to host an outdoor music performance at Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. The biophilic and landscape-inspired design approach is the result of a site visit and several inspiring conversations with composer Charles Kwong, who conceived this cross-disciplinary collaborative project and created the musical scores for the event.

舞台设计的最后定案为场域特定开放式笼子。这个笼子由三个高度、长度及阔度不一的大型组件拼合成非对称类脊椎的结构，整个笼子舞台建于两幅相邻的草地上。而由实体组件所构成的间质空间，实际上就是提供沉浸式体验的建筑空间。

The resulting form is a site-specific open cage with an asymmetrical spine-like structure arranged as three large-scale volumes—varying in height, length and width—upon two large adjacent lawn areas. The interstitial or negative space created in-between these volumes is in fact the architectural space that permeates the immersive experience.

这个笼子没有出入口，也没有里外之分。褪去这些界线就可以让投入感以不同的形式不断衍生。香港创乐团的乐师及其他特约乐手会散落在舞台的四周制造声音，而参观者可自由探索舞台空间及自行发现这些声音。

In this open cage design, there are no entrances nor exits, no inside nor outside. These boundaries are blurred to give way to a continuous flow of engaging form, inviting visitors to freely navigate the space and discover by themselves the sounds produced by the musicians of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble and other guest artists who in turn are scattered throughout the space.

设计构造完全使用竹枝作建材，并由香港棚架公司搭建，以推广这种独特却即近失传的可持续设计技术。这亦是竹搭戏棚的现代版，以回应这种在东南亚地区盛行的传统。

The design is conceived entirely with bamboo in mind and is built by a Hong Kong scaffolding company as part of a sustainable design strategy to elevate and promote this unique craft which is on the verge of extinction. It is also a contemporary take on the tradition of bamboo theaters, typical in the Southeast Asia region.
