Christian J. Lange @ Prada Frames M+

Wednesday, March 15th, 2023

“For those in Hong Kong, I will be participating in the upcoming Prada [frames] event at M+ coming Wednesday, March 22nd.

“M+ joins Prada to host the Asia premiere of Prada Frames, a yearly symposium that investigates the complex and nuanced relationship between the environment and design. The original Frames concept was established by Italian design studio Formafantasma.

In this 2023 edition curated by M+, Prada Frames will respond to the overarching Frame of Materials in Flux. Spanning over two days through a lecture and two panels, we will examine this topic within the ecology of place. Bringing together architects, artists, designers, and thinkers from Hong Kong, the wider Asia Pacific, and beyond, the panels will focus on the global ambition of sustainability from their practices and places. M+ will serve as a platform and a catalyst to bridge conversations from across Asia within an international context.
Simultaneous Interpretation in Cantonese and Mandarin will be available.

Reformative Coral Habitat at PMQ.

Friday, January 15th, 2021

Very happy that our team from the Robotic Fabrication Lab @ The Faculty of Architecture at HKU managed to bring this exhibition together. We had a great opening last Monday. The show will give insights about the design concepts, robotic production, and the implementation. To all who are still interested, the exhibit will continue until January 31st 2021. PMQ (S507, 5/F)

“Upcoming: Reformative Coral Habitats” show @ PMQ

Sunday, January 3rd, 2021

Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park is a local biodiversity hotspot accounting for more than three-quarters of reef-building corals in Hong Kong and more than 120 fish species. However, in recent years, gradual deterioration of the coral habitat, a process known as bioerosion, coupled with coral bleaching and mass mortality events in 2015-2016, are putting the future of the coral community at risk. In view of this, a team of HKU architects and marine scientists has developed a series of reformative 3D printed terracotta reef-structures intended to aid coral restoration by providing structurally complex substrates at the degraded areas.

The design and production of the hundred and twenty-eight 3D printed reef tiles were executed in the Robotic Fabrication Lab of the Faculty of Architecture at HKU. Covering roughly 40 sq. meters in total, the tiles were deployed in selected sites in the marine park in July 2020. The experiment will be closely monitored by marine scientists and researchers for the next one and half years.

The project is commissioned by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) and is part of an ongoing active management measure for coral restoration in Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Hong Kong.

This exhibition reveals the design concepts , manufacturing process, deployment, and ageing process of the tiles.​

Date: 11-Jan-2021 – 31-Jan-2021, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm
Venue: S507, 5/F, Staunton (Block A), PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central, Hong Kong
