The 20th Master of Architecture Graduation Show, organised by the School of Architecture of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), will be held during 3-9 June 2016, at Midtown POP in Causeway Bay, while the Phase 2 Exhibition will be held at the AIT Building, CUHK, from 13 June to 10 July 2016.
In this year’s exhibition, 53 individual thesis projects draw inspiration from a wide variety of topics demonstrating a common aspiration behind – to realise the potential of architecture in answering some of the pressing issues of society today, both in Hong Kong and globally.
1. CHAN Pak-chuen – Proposal for a symbolic underground data archive at the Peak, designed with a startling architectural manifestation of the global power of information technologies.
2. Vickie MA Ka-ki – Proposal for a low-rise rural development in South Yuen Long District, with an emphasis on agriculture and water as a radical alternative to high-rise residential typologies.
3. TANG Jieliang– Proposal for adapting to the forces of climate change by embracing the ecological edge with platforms of nearshore habitation as a prototype to coexist alongside a natural waterfront.
The 20th Master of Architecture Graduation Show is designed as a feast for the eyes and mind, serving not only as an engaging viewing experience that arouses public interest in creative architectural design, but also as a reflection on the social messages manifested in all the exhibiting graphics and models.
