Department of Architecture Degree Show 2013
The Degree Show is an annual exhibition of architectural thesis projects produced by the Master of Architecture Degree final year students in the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong.  These projects represent the students’ visions of the built-environment, reflecting their concerns over our social and cultural environments, and their determination to tackle contemporary issues in Architecture with new approaches.  Some of the projects concern living, working and learning spaces; spaces for traditional and contemporary arts and media; and re-definitions of the public realm. 

 
Included in the Degree Show are graduation projects of the Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies, projects of the Master of Landscape Architecture and Bachelor of Landscape Studies degree programmes. 
 
The exhibition will be held on 22nd June to 3rd July, 2013 in the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong on third and sixth floor of Knowles Building from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm (Saturdays and Sundays inclusive).

This exhibition demonstrates the superior art accomplishment of the masters of Tianfeng Studio, and it also indicates the great significance in the development of Lingnan School painting.

On the basis of Gao's painting skills, the Seven Apprentices - Gao Qi-feng, Zhou Yi-feng, Zhang Kun-yi, Ye Shao-bing, Ho Chat Yuen, Huang Shao-qiang, Rong Shu-shi, and Zhao Shao-ang walked out of their own path and become dominant figures in the art field of Southern China, including Hong Kong.
