Sadly, in Hong Kong a strange place, blending art with education becomes something undesirable. But as our government strongly advocates creative industry at last, some brand new art-education form is gradually budding and trying to develop... The buildings and schools shouldn’t only be used to tell you which tycoons have donated how much money to education. It should also be a space of education with unique design and atmosphere. It should cope with the people and things happening inside to generate synergy effect, a term management love to throw. You could see the well-ordered Tsing Hua University producing excellent engineers and scientists, and a Chinese garden like style Peking University breeding arts masters. A good education space should be able to capture the students and helps them wholeheartedly fall into the academic world. This is especially important for cultural, arts and design subjects which require students to have passion and sentiment. In the coming years there several art and design education space will be ready for you. You are now invited to take have a trip in them through words and see if you would also be captured by any of them. 1 a for art/ [ ] Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts – School of Film and Television 80 1984 2000 2003 1875 HKAPA was the first and the only performing arts tertiary institute in Hong Kong. It was found in the most fabulous days of Hong Kong entertainment business. Now the number of student is already saturated in the campus. Some say the students sometimes don’t even have enough space for their [ practices and need to do their practice in other venues. The Architectural Services Department therefore ] granted The Bethanie as their second campus when they were planning the future use of this historical building group. HKAPA will use it as classrooms and library of their School of Film and Television. Apart form practical uses The Bethanie should also be an excellent place for shooting films. It is not easy to find chapel, cowshed and old buildings like those in The Bethanie in other parts of Hong Kong. It should be a place that could stimulate the creativity of the students of HKAPA. There are suggestions that the Central Police Station should be rebuilt to be an arts institute, and if The Bethanie do it The Bethanie was built in 1875. Originally it was a health resort forsuccessfully it should be a good example. missionaries and elderly. Later the Hong Kong University Press used it as books storage. Mr. Philip Liao (First-running up in the West Kowloon Reclamation Concept Plan Competition) was hired as the architect in charge of the reconstruction. In planning the site could also has a theatre and a exhibition hall for performing arts and a museum for the history of the Bethanie. Apart from the chapel there are also buildings with many rooms that will be suitable for building studios. New Space for Creative Art Education 2 The City University of Hong Kong – School of Creative Media ifva Studio Daniel Libeskind [Out-of-the box thinking] Libeskind Libeskind 2003 GroundZero Libeskind Roman Foster Frank Gehry Libeskind Daniel Libeskind’s first building had already shocked the public. When he built the Berlin Jewish Museum he used deconstruction’s labyrinth- like languages to represent the Jewish spirit, and the building is now a masterpiece of architecture. In year 2003 he was also appointed as the architect in charge of [Grand Zero] in New York, the reconstruction of the site once the Twin Tower located. It immediately became a issue in the field of reconstruction. Now we got Libeskind for our City University building and he deserve respect of the same level as other architect stars like Roman Foster or Frank Gehry. Moreover Libeskind is one of those who care about not only the form but also the relation between language of building and meaning. We can see students from School of Creative Media of CUHK winning several awards in the recent years’ ifva animation section. It should be a prove of their success. Applying to The University Grants Committee for a new building, CUHK was granted 550 million dollars to build the first building of creative media in Asia. It should be ready in four years and the university will spend 200 million more to build public facilities like screening room. After an invitation of bids around the world, Studio Daniel Libeskind will be the architect of this plan. The current design of the building by Libeskind looks like an irregular crystal of cement with pieces of sharp objects pointing out of the surface. When looking at the building in different angles there are interesting and surprising observations. Sometimes it looks like a triangle breaks the wall and sometimes looks like a cylinder inserting into the building. It is symbolizing the [Out-of-the box thinking] of creative industry. The new building’s design will be modern and utilizing space. It would be a landmark of Hong Kong digital art in the future. Libeskind’s designs are always controversial and the about design is still a primary product. We should be looking forward to the last product. © Bitter+Bredt, Berlin contact: www.bitterbredt.de Jewish Museum Berlin: Main Stair,1999 3 a for art/ New Space for Creative Art Education The Hong Kong Baptist University – Department of Visual Arts 22 1998 40 2.24 [ ] 51 1934 1978 2001 ( Art Education ) At meantime, The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the only tertiary institute providing degree of traditional arts like paint and sculpture.
