Traditional Chinese architecture amidst
the modern highrises
Hong Kong is renowned for its city view of modern skyscrapers, but did you know that there are still many traditional Chinese styled buildings in various neighbourhoods too, waiting to be discovered?
This year's China Week, an event that the HKFYG has been organizing since 2011, will focus on traditional architecture and aesthetics to help young people learn more about Chinese history and culture. The week will run through a series of online activities from 28 September to 4 October.
Lectures will be offered, to over 1,000 primary and secondary students, by Mr. Raymond Wong Wai-man, Dr. Leo Sze Chi-ming, and Ms. Candy Law Kei-yu, who will help them understand the connections between tradition and culture as seen through architecture. The young participants will also have the opportunity to be creative by designing and building their own architectural masterpieces using 4D Frame and Tinkercad in online workshops. They will also be part of two virtual tours, using 360 degrees photographs, experiencing some of Hong Kong's traditional buildings.
Modernity can exist with the traditional; especially architecturally and help form a deep understanding of heritage and culture.
Come join this unique programme that helps us all look at our city with fresh eyes!
