Uncovering parts of the history of a city through excavation has always been an astonishing event. It allows the city dwellers to understand the past and make connection to the future.

However, the traditional idea of preserving the remnant in a permanent glass box is inherently problematic. Once the remnant is put behind the display glass for viewing, the embodied history is stopped at that moment. Its timeline is no longer attached with the city’s timeline. Its future is forever frozen.

For the purpose of not only broadcasting the significant history of the Lung Tsun Stone Bridge, but also reactivating its sole function as a linkage to various destinations, we want to create a place where people can come and go, through past to present, and most importantly, to allow the timeline of LTSB and Hong Kong to be synced in the future.
