Field visit.
A field visit to PMQ was conducted on 22nd November, 2014 (Saturday) in the afternoon. PMQ is located in Hollywood Road where Chinese antiques and galleries are situated. Hence, it also suits into the atmosphere as a cultural centre.
Before conducting the field visit, we tried to book a guided tour online as we would like to have a better understanding on the details of PMQ. However, we were told that a guided tour could not be arranged. It was because no volunteer docent was available on that day. Hence, it might be because PMQ was a newly established organization. However, the involvement of volunteer was an important element because the visitor would have a better understanding on PMQ and its related history during the direct communication.
Before the visit, we expected that heritage and history should be one of the major concerns of PMQ and it should be well conserved. For example, the building and some of the facilities should remain its original shape. Besides, the an exhibition should be hold about the history of the building. In term of the studios, local artists should be the dominated group and there would be different art works besides designer clothing. Also, it should be closely related with the local community such as providing sufficient open space. Local participation was also important.
Hence, we would like to observe the various aspects and environment of PMQ to conduct the discussion. We would like to see if the development of PMQ was accomplishing the goal of the company as well as the general public.
