CREATION

The book provides guidelines and practical creative exercises which equip creative-major students in early semesters as well as creative practitioners with fundamental knowledge on creation methods. Combination of functionality, simplicity and aesthetics in modern design is considered a fundamental design principle in the Bauhaus School in Germany,and, inspired by the School, the creative handcrafting exercises and the concepts introduced in this book are primarily coherent with this principle. The book draws a direction between two and three dimensional material-based design and modern digital creation process. The first part of the book introduces various creative handcrafting exerciseson proportion, geometry and modularity, among other fundamental design principles. The creative exercises will sensitise students on aesthetical and structural issues, and thus serve as an essential building block for application of the design principles to computer-based creative processes, which ar

Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar covers the origins of the city’s currency crisis in 1983, the initial resolution of the crisis by creation of a traditional currency board, the subsequent problems leading to the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, and the later reforms. A new final chapter traces monetary developments in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2020. This valuable compendium of articles, originally written in the bimonthly journal Asian Monetary Monitor between 1981 and 1989, includes the key article that formed the basis for the Hong Kong government’s decision in 1983 to peg the currency to the US dollar, as well as other important documents of historical record. The main contribution of the book is its detailed monetary analysis of Hong Kong’s unique financial system before and after the currency crisis of 1983. The book explains the collapse of the floating Hong Kong dollar under the pressure of capital outflows during the Sino-British negotiations (1982–84) over the future of

For so many around the world, it was in the cinema that they saw their first glimpse of martial arts. Through the films of Lau Kar Leung, among others, they came to appreciate the power and skill of many kung fu techniques. However devotees and practitioners of kung fu and Hung Kuen were aware of the much longer tradition of these arts and in particular, the contribution of both the Lam family and the Lau family. In 2009 the Hong Kong Government endeavoured to identify and recognize forms of intangible cultural heritage. It was this awareness of a vibrant part of Hong Kong history and culture which led to the creation of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Living Archive, and from this the exhibition, Lingnan Hung Kuen Across the Century: Kung Fu Narratives in Hong Kong Cinema and Community. In the exhibition and this companion book, the histories of the Lam and Lau families are traced, and their role in preserving and creating new stances and forms and bringing Hung Kuen to a wider audience th

Tracing its origins back to 1822 in Whampoa, the Mariners’ Club in Hong Kong was established to meet a specific need for an Anglo-Chinese society defined by that most dubious of activities, seafaring. Its creation was anything but straightforward, and in this can be seen the mutable and often tortuous relations between the various religious bodies, the local population, the transient sailors, the emerging captains of industry, and the growing regulatory reach of the colonial government. The club evolved through many embodiments and witnessed the growth of Hong Kong from a collection of mat-sheds on the foreshore, through colony to its current status. Throughout its turbulent past it has been occasionally marginalized but has always served as an important base for the key actors in the main commercial activity in Hong Kong: seafarers. This is a history of one of the most enduring institutions of Hong Kong, and the first of its kind. Using the Club’s own records as well as a wide rang

近年大眾對紫砂的認識，大多只停留在炒賣的亂象，幾曾想起一把壺背後，被遺忘的歷史淵源，以及匠人名家在創作和收藏過程中的執着和熱忱。 本書罕有集中港台兩岸三地紫砂專家惠賜鴻文，包括內地專家裴峻峰教授和高振宇老師，香港學者林雪虹博士和蔡惠鈞小姐，更有台灣茶學專家池宗憲先生，藉着「藏」、「情」、「賞」、「緣」四大面向，分享他們的收藏和觀賞紫砂茶具之樂，緬懷紫砂巨匠在紫砂藝術上的貢獻，以及如何與紫砂結上半生緣，來讓讀者重新了解紫砂深厚的文化底蘊。 While the public’s general impression of purple clay still rests at its period of confusing speculation, not many would therefore recall the forgotten history and the lineage of development behind a piece of pot, as well as the perseverance and passion of masters and artisans during the process of creation and collection. This book is a rare collection of essays from the purple clay specialists and scholars from China mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, including Professor Pei Junfeng and Mr. Gao Zhenyu from the mainland, Dr. Anne Lam and Miss Virginia Choy from Hong Kong, and especially the tea expert Mr. Chee Jung Sien from Taiwan, to share their delight of collecting and appreciating purple clay teapot through the four aspects: “collection“, “love“, “appreciati
