Co-organised by the Education Bureau (EDB) and the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM), this course aims to help teachers develop a deeper understanding of the architectural design concept of the HKPM, as well as the historical and cultural connection between traditional and contemporary architecture. The course also seeks to further enhance teachers’ appreciation skills of Chinese architecture, helping them incorporate this new knowledge into teaching and learning and cultivate students’ interest in traditional Chinese arts and culture and architectural design.
Architect Freddie Hai will share the design concept and creative process behind the making of the HKPM. Delving into the building’s structure and layout, exterior, and interior design, Mr. Hai will shed light on how the Museum building offers a fresh and contemporary interpretation of Chinese traditional cultural elements with inspiration drawn from Chinese art and architectural aesthetics, as well as Hong Kong’s urban landscape.
After the event, participants will gain access to the museum’s thematic exhibitions and the new special exhibition titled The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: YUAN MING YUAN – Art and Culture of an Imperial Garden-Palace (Gallery 8) to experience the beauty of Chinese architecture and imperial garden art.
