【 I.M.Pei Collection 】⁣⁣⁣
From plans and elevations of the Museum of Chinese Art for Shanghai into bookmarks, three-dimensional forms of Bank of China into glass vases, roof plan of Everson Museum into wall clock, interlocking volumes of National Gallery of Art East Building into candle holders, to roof geometry and tunnel framing of Miho Museum into kaleidoscope, each object is an abstraction and interpretation of a particular architectural project from his prolific oeuvres selected to be showcased in the exhibition while trying to illustrate the architectural essence of each from a fresh perspective through the lens of architecture and product design.

【 Adventist Medical Center 】⁣⁣⁣
The highly sanitized typical white medical interiors are not unfamiliar to everyone. However, with the recent booming wellness industry that focuses not just on physical but also mental well-being, Adventist Medical Centre is a pilot project to transform medical interior and elevate user experience without sacrificing operational needs. The entire concept originates from Adventist Health’s branding color pink with a twist that relates wellness to natural scenery. The design intends to borrow the materiality and ambience of canyon and pink lake that radiate a sense of security and warmth. Subverting the typical white and clinical interior that is often unpleasant to the users due to a lack of natural or human touch, an earthy material palette with various shades of pink and beige is adopted to render a cosy and peaceful environment that calm one’s body and mind.

【 Rhythmic Lane 】⁣⁣⁣
In Leung Shuen Bay Public School, there is no school song yet there is sound to signal the departure for fishing but also sound of school bell to signal the gathering of people. As we engage with the alumni, everyone remembers the school bell’s rhythm hit manually on a metal tank as a collective memory of sound. In collaboration with Fragrant Village, the art installation becomes one that unites people through music and architecture. It is a bench that meanders alone the basketball court lines but also a xylophone that creates a sound based on the rhythm of the school bell.

【 Public Objects Of Nam Cheong Street】⁣⁣⁣
Environmental care begins with mutual acceptance and reciprocal relationships between humans and other species. This exhibition takes Nam Cheong Street in Sham Shui Po as the research object, aiming to explore the close but distant relationship between humans and other species in the urban environment. By observing street spaces and facilities we look for places that occasionally provide habitat for other organisms and think about how to build an urban environment that embraces all humans and species. The exhibition will narrate 37 incredible, bizarre and strange stories in Nam Cheong Street in Sham Shui Po, but at the same time show the diversity of nature, allowing the public to re-examine our urban environment from a non-human perspective. We hope to expand from being people-centered to being all-things-centered and realize the vision of a sustainable city.

【 Rhythmic Lane 】⁣⁣⁣
In collaboration with Fragrant Village, who has been studying Hong Kong village schools containing countless memories of growing up and reflecting the context of Hong Kong’s urban development, the art installation becomes one that unites people through music and architecture. It is a bench that meanders alone the basketball court lines but also a xylophone that creates a sound based on the rhythm of the school bell.

【 SAKA Museum 】⁣⁣⁣
The leaning centre for academics, artists, and conservationists is embedded in the centre as a wooden chest with its traditional archives. Different Balinese Hinduist motifs were also reflected in the architectural language through a contemporary lens while maintaining the essence of the traditional form.

【 CG(HK) SPRING 2024 】⁣⁣⁣
This season’s auction design focuses on the painting section entry demonstrating works from two renowned painters, Chu Teh-Chun and Wu Guanzhong. Portal has always been an important element in Chinese architecture and gardens as a transition from one world to another, outside to inside. Paintings are also a portal from reality into another world. Thus, the concept is to create a portal into the painting section and portals into each painting. While a physical puncture creates a physical opening for an entrance, the indentation on the wall folds a solid surface into an imaginary space where each painting appears to be floating through the manipulation of perspective and lighting.

【 SAKA Museum 】⁣⁣⁣
The Saka Museum is one dedicated to Balinese Hinduist culture and traditional crafts in the Ayana Estate in Jimbaran, Bali. The entire interior seeks inspiration from local natural and cultural heritage in order to represent the powerful connection between culture and nature in Balinese Hinduism. From the tranquil night sky of Nyepi to water caves, volcano rocks to jasper and agate of Indonesia, Saka Museum defines each area through the translation of nature into architecture in formal and material expression.

【 Accordion Album 】⁣⁣⁣
Recognising the photo collection as a curated ‘album’ of Zhou Xuan’s dramatic life, the spatial translation results in an accordion photo book. The spaces will be experienced as pages of her life flipped through in chapters, where one can ‘walk into’ and learn through the collection.
