Exhibition - Towards A Circular Economy - Interview With Pieter Van Os And Prof Dann Van Eijk

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Imagine a world where resources can always be reduced, reused, repaired, recycled or recovered. The picture is perfect, but do such ambitions have a chance in a wasteful city like Hong Kong?

Theme - Cho.Earth: Hybrid Heritage Preservation With A Payout

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Thought owning some famous real estate was just a flight of fancy? Well, the real thing is probably yes, but a virtual version is very much possible. In fact, snapping up some virtual heritage and cultural icons for free could prove a very wise investment if the people behind CHO.earth have anything to do with it.

Theme - The Power Of Immersive Media Arts

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Theme - Virtual Historia: A Treasure Hunt For Heritage Successors

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

The metaverse is set to play an important role in our digital future. However, what problems it solves and how it develops is still unclear, and real-world challenges such as population decline and disinterest in cultural heritage defy an easy digital fix. Regardless, Kameoka City in rural Japan is betting that the metaverse could help in tackling just these problems.

Theme - Dr Chan Lai-Kiu - An Architect Who "Makes It Fun"

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

During the 2017 Hong Kong Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture, Pak Sha Road in Causeway Bay became an arena for giant mahjong. The road was lined with artificial grass, while the air was filled with buskers' performance and the aroma of freshly baked pineapple buns and egg custards. Dr Chan Lai-kiu, the curator and architect of this project, truly demonstrated her motto, "Make it fun!", which extended to digitally elevated traditional Chinese mahjong and reenacted old Hong Kong districts.

Theme - Heritage Double Vision Offers Unique Perspectives

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Ever flipped between some before and after photographs of a place or situation? It can be fascinating, triggering leaps of imagination to fill in the gaps between the two time periods.

Theme - Scan The World: To Live, Cultural Heritage Needs To Be Shared

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Museums are fascinating, but with only a fraction of their items ever exhibited, they could also be considered graveyards for cultural heritage. Museums can, and should, be doing a better job of sharing our incredible global culture. Scan the World's Jon Beck wants to shake up our cultural institutions, and he thinks scanning and 3D printing are the perfect way to revitalise what we consider cultural heritage, and what we can do with it.

Theme - Reinvigorating The Soul Of Traditional Chinese Formal Wear

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

In Chinese traditions, the clothing system under Confucian rites and etiquettes is a symbol of civilisation, which is best represented by the formal attires of the royals and dignitaries. However, such tradition has faded with the succession of dynasties and the evolution of history. Very often, any residual legacy is only retained verbally by folk artisans. Chinese people do have a few more national costumes. The "Zhongshan suit" (or Mao suit) came from a Japanese imitation of European military uniforms. The more popular derivative known as "Tang suit" (or Zhong suit) is somehow restricted to a certain format and rather …

Theme - Revives Chinoiserie With Guangcai

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Traditional Chinese culture is profoundly influential. As the society attaches more and more importance to cultural identity, projects themed with cultural revival are emerging. Yet, people have almost always only focused on formal art categories. Traditional craftsmanship that does not belong to the mainstream rarely receives much attention. Things have changed because of the increasing prominence of the creative economy in recent years, the renewal of the market and population structure, and the rise of social consciousness. Traditional folk crafts are now hot items in the cultural and creative industry, thanks to their unique cultural character, the distinguished technical skills …
