CES #349 Third Quarterly Presentation: International Forum and Global Practice Presentation with Pei Cobb Freed & Partners

There was a large turnout at the Asia Society for a Brunch Reception with George Kunihiro, FAIA, and George Miller, FAIA, on Saturday the 14th of September.

Chapter members, guests and Asia Society attendees were treated to an update about the AIA International Region by George Kunihiro, our current AIA International Director, who described how and why the International Region came into existence and its importance in what is now a global world, with many firms operating, in effect, “24/7” because they are located not only in the United States, but also as far afield as India, China and the Middle East.

CES #347 The Design and Construction of Cultural Buildings – A Conversation with renowned Spanish Architect: Fernando Menis

Guest architect, Fernando Menis, presented his lecture “On the Design and Construction of Cultural Buildings” before a standing room only crowd at the K11 Art Foundation Gallery in Central on September 3, 2013. The renowned Spanish architect, whose practice is based in the Canary Islands, spoke to his process and guiding philosophy, Reason and Emotion, for crafting such visionary and award-winning designs as the MAGMA Artes y Congressos, Plaza de Adeje, and the Jordanek Concert Hall. Attendees were treated to an in-depth view into his creative process, including his exhaustive and masterful exploration of concrete, the material for which he is perhaps most famous.

AIA Hong Kong – August President’s Message

Dear Fellow Members,

I hope you are all enjoying a pleasant summer.

At the beginning of July, we were extremely pleased to announce the re-launch of our AIA Hong Kong website. In addition to an enhanced presentation of our chapter’s information and activities, there are also a few blogs filled with interesting discussions on architecture and related topics. I would like to extend my appreciation to J. Lee Rofkind, AIA, and the Communications Committee for pulling this together.

In July we hosted several very interesting events, including an enlightening Brain Trust discussion about Macau – The Paradox of Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Development, which will later be featured in Perspective magazine as one of a series of four featured reports.

August is the month for completing your Honors and Awards submissions. I would like to remind you to submit your creative projects very soon – the deadline is August 23, 2013.

In the meantime, continue to enjoy the steaming hot summer.

Sincerely,
William Lim, FAIA
2013 President, AIA Hong Kong Chapter
