ARCH1101 first class

A: My best piece of creative work before coming to this course

















My high school (MSS) held a file cover design competition to celebrate its 85th Anniversary. This is the design that I submitted. I lost the competition but I did not really care about it because I enjoy drawing this kind of pattern. My inspiration came from Indian henna.

B: An image of a great piece of architecture

This is Hong Kong Coliseum located at Hung Hom. Although it is meant to be a venue for sport activities, it seldom being occupied for events related to sports. This indoor stadium is mainly used for holding pop concerts and large scale ceremonies. I visit there to watch my favourite band show in May every year. The unique inverted pyramid shape comes from its special feature of having a central stage with four-sided seats for audience. It is one of an iconic building located near the waterfront.

C: An original photograph of something beautiful
















Hong Kong is a “concrete jungle” but large pieces of land are still being preserved as country parks, for example, Lantau Island Country Park, where this photo was being taken. Although the air pollution problem in Hong Kong is very serious, we can still see the beautiful blue sky sometime. Taking pictures of blue sky of Hong Kong in summertime is one of my hobbies.
