The exhibition will be held on June 18 to 27 from 11:00am to 7:00pm daily at the Department of Architecture, 3rd Floor, Knowles Building, the University of Hong Kong. Admission is free. All are welcome.
This exhibition, organized by the Department of Architecture, is the result of theoretical investigations of architectural and urban design projects by students of all years. A major part of the exhibition features the “Design Theses” of the Master of Architecture (MArch), Master of Urban Design and Master of Landscape Architecture degree courses.
Many of the MArch theses reflect students' concern about high density living of urban metropolises: determination to tackle environmental problems while maintaining sustainability and conservation. They range from new urban experience, media transformation, spiritual retreats or idealization of places for pleasure, work and community - an ideological expression to challenge the conventional approach for such structures.
They represent the fruits of five years of learning at the University. With over half a century of educational excellence, the Department demonstrates its continued commitment to promote public awareness on architectural education and discourse in Hong Kong.
Also on display are student projects that have won prizes in various international competitions, which has become a tradition of achievements and excellence for the Department.
The opening ceremony will be held at 6:30pm on June 17 (Friday) at 3rd Floor, Knowles Building, Department of Architecture, HKU. Ms Shelly Lee, Permanent Secretary of Home Affairs and Professor Y.C. Richard Wong, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, will officiate at the ceremony. Media representatives are cordially invited to attend.
Members of the press are also invited to join the media pre-view session which will be held at 3:00pm at the same venue (3rd Floor, Knowles Building). Professor David P Y Lung, Head of Department of Architecture, and his fellow students will give a brief on their design projects.
