Hong Kong GSD Symposium 2020 - How to Craft your Practice?

Sign up @ https://gsd.hk/symposium for Hong Kong GSD’s first symposium!
Welcome anyone who is interested in opening their own design practice!!

This past January, Hong Kong GSD organized the first ever HK Trek for our fellow classmates to learn more about how architecture and design is practiced in Hong Kong. Among the places we visited were Foster+Partners, Sun Hung Kai Properties, KPF, OMA, and the HKU Faculty of Architecture, where we participated in an informal discussion with current faculty and students. Thanks to the HK Trek team for organizing this fun and informative event! Stay tuned for next year's edition of HK Trek!

KUBE’s anodized aluminum finish changes color throughout the day as light reflects from the material, offering visitors different scenes at dawn and dusk, day and night.//
