HKIA Cross-Strait Architectural Design Symposium and Awards 2019

主題 Theme

SHAPE and SHAPELESS
TRANSCENDENCE OF HUMANITY & NATURE

「形而上者謂之道，形而下者謂之器」《周易》, ‘shapes’ contains both meanings of philosophical and physical. 「因緣所生法，我說即是空」《中觀論》, ‘shapeless’ goes beyond emptiness, but every existence follows ‘Yuan’. Proper translation of ‘shape and shapeless’, therefore, has long been debatable - may it be ‘metaphysical’, ‘abstract ideal’ or ‘empirical’ - as these words are neither comprehensive nor holistic.

THE STUDENT CATEGORY

The student design competition with the theme of ‘shape and shapeless’ challenges participants to interpret and redefine ‘shapes’ or ‘shapeless’ through an architectural intervention design proposal that transcends humanity and nature. The submissions are expected to reflect the spirit of physicality and philosophy aspects of ‘shapes’ or ‘shapeless’, and open a platform to discuss the direction of future development in the context of the Straits and the Belt and Road.
