HPS SOCIAL's Second Event - The Architect of Tomorrow

31 July 2019 by hpa Design Studio (SE Asia) Sdn Bhd

hps SOCIAL's second event under The Architect of Tomorrow programme took place in the first note of the early Summer! Established on a talk about different architecture eras and styles evolved in our city historically, students went on to an architecture tour and sketch walk with our architect colleagues Valerie Or, Lynus Lau and Andy Wong in Sheung Wan and Central on 23rd April 2019. The footprints of a group of young students overlapped with those who lived in the history, where the tales and stories are continuously rediscovered, reimagined and rewritten. Live drawing and sketching was undoubtedly a perfect activity to shape and polish the eyes of the students, through the gazes and stares, it has enabled the historical architectures to be relearned and documented in a thousand ways.
