SUMMARY:A Minute Something Else Enters - Architecture and Constraint: Architectural space derived in pandemic time frame
DESCRIPTION:The latest Covid-19 pandemic put forward waves of “new normal” in every aspect of life. The state of “new normal” spanned over the notion of living a normal life\, it brought deformation amongst the public realm and personal life as well as an institutionalized atmosphere of dissension. Charles and Ian will lead us through contemplation on the histories of pandemics. We will delve into architectural spaces in pandemic events\, impacted by the overflow of an invisible disease\, altered spatial design\, urban fabric and materials in cities. These impacts manifested control of bodies by architectural space\, from conceptual perpetuation to real-life constraints. \n“A Minute Something Else Enters” is a community project collaborated with the teaching staff at LKS Faculty of Medicine\, The University of Hong Kong\, aimed to explore the history of pandemic across centuries of time within the boundary in Hong Kong. The project anticipates audio-guided immersive theatre at HKU and surrounding in 2022 January\, in addition to three online to offline sharing sessions to swarm out into the interfaces of the pandemic\, urban and daily life with the lens of architecture\, medical profession and literature. “A Minute Something Else Enters” is supported by MEHU\, HKU Libraries and Common Core. \nMr Charles Lai \nCharles Lai is a British architect and researcher of the history and conservation of Hong Kong and Asian modern architecture. He received his PhD degree in architectural history and theory from the University of Hong Kong Department of Architecture\, and a diploma from the AA School of Architecture in London. He is a member of the Docomomo Hong Kong. His research explores the history of modern architecture in East and Southeast Asia\, the material culture and history of Shanghai plaster\, as well as the conservation and revitalization design of historical built heritage. \nMr Ian Tan \nIan Tan is pursuing his PhD studies in Architectural History at the University of Hong Kong. His research examines the circulation of iron architecture in colonial port cities\, particularly Singapore and Hong Kong\, foregrounding the material as a key proponent of modernity which transformed the way people lived\, worked\, and socialised at the turn of the century. He is trained as a conservation architect and curator and previously served in these roles with the National Heritage Board of Singapore. \nDate: Nov 10\, 2021 \nTime: 7:30 – 9pm \nVenue: Lower basement\, Hong Kong Art Centre\, Eric Hotung Studio\, 2 Harbour Road\, Wan Chai\, Hong Kong \nIn association with Cultural Masseur\, HKAC 文化按摩師 Cultural Masseur \nSpeaker: Charles Lai & Ian Tan \nLanguage: Cantonese and English \nRegister at: https://forms.gle/Pp9Tt2nMvCZpfSAY9 \nFacebook event link: https://www.facebook.com/1349072538454919/posts/5225445314150936/?d=n

SUMMARY:Passion Project Workshop: Probability\, Not A Possibility by Josephine Chan
DESCRIPTION:Many have struggled at the crossroads in their lives trying to find the answer to two fundamental questions: “How do I find my passion?” and “What is my purpose in life?” The motivation to discovering your calling is the origin of many journeys of self-discovery.

This Passion Project workshop will also offer you some tools to increase self-understanding and help you set up a more solid foundation in creating a life that you want to live. Josephine hopes to demonstrate that your passion is never just “found\,” but needs to be created and nurtured. It is only through deep self-understanding and taking concrete steps to create and build your passion\, that searching for what you love becomes not just a possibility\, but a probability. \nAbout the Facilitator \nJosephine is currently the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of WHub – Hong Kong’s largest startup ecosystem platform.

SUMMARY:Photography Exhibition: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Common Core is proud to support the HKU Women in Science and Engineering (HKU WISE) group with the upcoming exhibition by photographer Laura Simonsen titled Women in Science\, to be held at the Main Library. Laura will exhibit photographs of female scientists from HKU’s Faculty of Science. \nThe exhibition commemorates 2020 as the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in America and follows on from the exhibition “100 Years of Women’s Suffrage in America” (on display at the HKU Main Library)\, which tells the lives of eight notable suffragists in the movement: Susan B. Anthony\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, Mary Church Terrell\, Daisy Lampkin\, Carrie Chapman Catt\, Lucy Stone\, Sojourner Truth\, and Lucretia Mott. Beginning in the mid-19th century\, successive generations of women’s suffrage supporters worked tirelessly to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change in the Constitution – guaranteeing women the right to vote.  By spotlighting these eight figures who played key roles in the struggle for women’s suffrage\, together with the progress for gender equality within the field of science\, the exhibit highlights the effort of women to establish a landscape for greater equality. \nThe exhibition will run for the entire month of September 2021.
