「由內而外的美麗」是東京資生堂銀座總店在12月展出的聖誕櫥窗主題。傳統的日本雨傘（WAGASA）經過精心製作和裝飾，代表著聖誕樹和花圈。項目以傳統工藝為理念，旨在凸顯傳統工藝的內在美，與品牌的產品理念一脈相承。

傳統上，WAGASA 象徵著“辟邪”和“好運”，類似於聖誕樹和花環的含義，營造出一種天然的兼容性。WAGASA 的美麗之處在於其隱藏的 “竹骨” 和裝飾用的 “花線” 結構。這些元素被一一展示出來，表現出它們隱藏的美。

透過這次展示，項目展示了傳統工藝尚未開發的潛力和可持續性，同時慶祝其在現代背景下的美學和文化意義。

"Beauty from within" is a Christmas window display project showcased at the Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store in Tokyo in December. Traditional Japanese umbrellas (WAGASA) were crafted and decorated to represent a Christmas tree and wreath.

For this project, the concept was directed towards traditional craftsmanship, aiming to highlight the inherent beauty of traditional crafts.

Traditionally, WAGASA symbolizes "protection against evil spirits" and "good luck", similar to the meaning of Christmas trees and wreaths, creating a natural compatibility.

The beauty of WAGASA lies in the structure of their usually hidden "bamboo ribs" and decorative "ornamental threads". These elements were brought to light to reveal their hidden beauty within.

Through this display, the project demonstrated the untapped potential and sustainability of traditional craftsmanship, while celebrating its aesthetic and cultural significance in a modern context.

【萬花同慶 - 花墟聖誕節慶活動 Flower Market Christmas Festive Event】

由市區重建局（巿建局）與油尖旺民政事務處合作舉辦的「萬花同慶」花墟聖誕節慶活動，在 12月13日舉行亮燈儀式。

「萬花同慶」由即日起至2025年1月5日舉行。市建局與油尖旺民政事務處合力為花墟添上節慶佈置，包括在洗衣街與花墟道的部分路段裝上絢麗多彩的燈飾、在洗衣街與花墟道交界的行人空間設以旋轉木馬為主題的大型聖誕裝置，及在太子道西天橋底營造片片「雪花」的投射效果，供市民和遊客「打卡」。

在聖誕節前的周末（2024年12月21 至22日），市建局將與花墟部分商戶、地區團體合作，舉辦以花為題材的聖誕掛飾工作坊，與市民和遊客歡度佳節。

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA), in collaboration with the Yau Tsim Mong District Office, launched the Flower Market Christmas Festive Event on 13 December at the Flower Market in Mong Kok with a lighting ceremony.

The URA’s Flower Market Christmas Festive Event runs from today until 5 January 2025. The URA and the Yau Tsim Mong District Office have jointly adorned the Flower Market with festive decorations, including dazzling lights on sections of Sai Yee Street and Flower Market Road and a large carousel-themed Christmas installation set up in the pedestrian space at the intersection of Sai Yee Street and Flower Market Road. Snowflake images will also be projected onto the base of the Prince Edward Road West Flyover. These distinctive decorations create excellent photo spots for locals and tourists.

In addition to the decorations, the URA will collaborate with several flower shop operators at the Flower Market and a community organisation to host floral-themed Christmas ornament workshops during the weekend before Christmas (21 to 22 December 2024), sharing the festive joy with residents and tourists.

位於台灣新竹的陽明交大電子物理系在四月份舉辦了 60 周年慶活動，校方同時正式啟用由柏成設計打造的 EDA 教父黃炎松博士紀念廣場 -「炎松之圓」，顛覆傳統紀念碑的呈現方式，不僅能坐、能爬，還融合了校友的致勝心法，親民和具實用性。

踏入陽明交大廣場時，映入眼簾的是一片巨大晶圓。「圓」是黃炎松博士最喜歡的形狀，象徵著圓滿，也有晶圓的含意。從這個概念發想，柏成設計用不鏽鋼去表現晶圓，將圓輕輕地掀起來產生了焦點，利用這個焦點進而聚集人群，讓學生們都可以很輕盈的坐在這個圓裡面。這張晶圓其實也像是張魔毯，希望坐在上面的學生都可以帶著夢想飛翔。

Located in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in honor of the Department of Electrophysics’ 60th anniversary, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) formally opened the Dr. Yen-Son (Paul) Huang Courtyard, which was designed by JC. Architecture & Design.

With a background in designing public spaces and amenities, JC took on this challenge and transformed the monument into an architectural facility that everyone can use and be reminded every day that this is a means to honor someone and their contributions. The design subverts the conventional approach to designing monuments and incorporates the winning mentality of exceptional graduates, making it both practical and user-friendly.

The amphitheater, framed like a circle, which was Dr. Huang’s favorite shape, symbolizes perfection and continuity. At the same time, it is the same image of a silicon wafer, whose development was helped found by Dr. Yen-Son (Paul) Huang.

The stainless steel plate is raised off the ground, mimicking a magical carpet where students can sit and fly with their aspirations.

As the most important area of the Nansha Pearl Bay in Guangzhou, Aedas has created a green integrated complex at Hengli Island. It is designed to establish a high-quality urban development benchmark that embraced by the nature.

The project is located at the eastern end of Hengli Island, bordered to the north by the major financial zone, and to the east by the International Financial Conference Forum. It will connect with the GBA cities through the Guangzhou Metro Line.

Within the four plots naturally separated by the cross-planned road, the north side of the street-facing plot is arranged with a centralized commercial area and high-end business towers facing the city, while the south side of the river-facing plot is located with rare river view luxury houses. In terms of spatial division, around the central cross block, the north side of the plot is focused on building a commercial pedestrian street full of fireworks and Lingnan characteristics, while the south side of the plot is built with a quiet and luxurious residential garden and high-end club full of Southeast Asian style. The design places a strong emphasis on the local nature and culture, creating a comprehensive community that integrates commercial facilities, residential living, cultural entertainment, and business offices, making it suitable for young entrepreneurs in the GBA.

Molecules is a series of five interactive water molecules rising up from the Arizona Canal that come to life through the interactions of its users and the surrounding environment in Scottsdale, Arizona. The installation, created by The Urban Conga, is meant to showcase that, much like our communities, the water within the canal is created by a series of interpersonal connections between neighboring elements coming together around conflicting reactions.

Molecules was developed as an open-ended play experience talking about the climate crisis and our personal impact on the environment around us. The work allows people to look at how their individual response or action can impact a larger reaction, and that when we can work together with our neighbors it generates an even larger reaction. The utilization of the work and its reflection of light and sound as a component of play helps break down social barriers and allows people to connect and converse on a sometimes-uncomfortable conversation within the space, leading users to think about the water below and where it is going, who owns it, and how precious it is.

During the day, the work responds to the natural light by shifting and changing colors based on the angle in which it is viewed. Each panel takes on the identity of a screen reflecting the motion of the landscape and people passing by. The molecules line the edge of the canal, allowing for people to get close to the work and play with their reflections within the icosahedral spheres’ unique mirroring of color and light.

At night, each molecule is illuminated from within by LED lighting that responds to visitors’ voices. An interaction point located at each molecule indicates where people’s voices can begin to shift and change the lighting of the work, highlighting the reflection that one’s voice has on the environment around them.

As people talk, sing, and yell at the interaction point, the work begins to talk back; people begin to share their stories, tell it their dreams, yell out their frustrations, and even sing songs to the installation. Looking across the canal, people can see the conversations from afar as the lights pulsate and change colors based on the volume and tone of their voices. It transforms the edge of the canal into a spontaneous place for people to converse, connect, dance, sing, and play together.

Richard J. Daley College Campus established in 2019, this campus was envisioned as a symbol to remind families and children that higher education is not only within reach, but also a journey filled with inspiration and purpose. Richard J. Daley College and City Colleges of Chicago have dedicated themselves to making higher education affordable and accessible for all of Chicago's youth, with a special emphasis on youth of color.

Since the campus revitalization, student enrollment has increased by 120%, a testament to the impact of creating a space that ignites excitement, fosters pride, and reinforces the belief that education is a transformative force for both individuals and communities.

The campus renaissance began with the conception of the Manufacturing and Technology Center (MTEC), a new project brought to life by JGMA. This innovative building reimagined an outdated and uninviting entrance, transforming it from a habitat trail into a formal and welcoming gateway, and acted as a catalyst for the broader campus transformation. Building on this momentum, the redesign of the existing campus building introduced a new level of innovation and architectural dignity.

This transformation not only enhanced the building’s functionality, but also cultivated a sense of pride and excitement among students. By integrating modern design with a strong architectural presence, the redesign creates an inspiring and supportive environment that encourages student engagement and achievement. The interior circulation spaces are intentionally designed to collide with seating areas, platforms, and alcoves, promoting informal gatherings and incidental learning among peers. Exterior and interior terraces offer green spaces where students and faculty can connect with nature, boosting cognitive function, wellness, and campus unity, especially during the warm weather months.

【DX 設計館將於 12 月 4 日起正式對公眾開放 / DX design hub open to the Public on 4 December】

位於深水埗的香港設計新地標—由香港特別行政區政府文創產業發展處負責策略制定、協調和監督、香港設計中心負責營運的 DX 設計館（DX design hub），將於 2024 年 12 月 4 日（星期三）起正式對公眾開放。該處將成為香港培育設計人才的重要基地，促進設計師、企業、不同領域的商會和專業人士之間的深度合作與交流，並透過不同設計相關活動，展示設計的力量與卓越設計案例。配合區內的布藝業界、特色小店及創意社群，彼此創造新的協同效應，助力深水埗發展為極富活力的獨特創意社區。

Located in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong Design Centre’s (HKDC) new landmark, DX design hub (the Hub) will opening to the public from 4 December (Wednesday). The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is responsible for strategy formulation, coordination, and supervision of the hub while HKDC is responsible for operating the hub.

This Hub aims to serve as an important base for nurturing design talent in Hong Kong, and to promote deep collaboration and exchange among designers, businesses, various industry associations and professionals. Through a series of diverse design-related programmes, the Hub will showcase the impact of design and exceptional instances of design in practice. By collaborating with the local textile industry, independent businesses and creative communities, the Hub fosters and create new synergies and contribute to the transformation of Sham Shui Po into a vibrant and unique creative community.

DX 設計館坐落於深水埗通州街 280 號，是香港特別行政區政府於 2017 年《施政報告》提出新措施，並於同年年底由商務及經濟發展局建議，預留深水埗通州街市區重建局之需求主導重建項目內約 3,600 平方米、共五層的商業樓面，設立設計及時裝基地，並交由香港設計中心負責營運。

DX 設計館由地下至四樓總共佔地五層，其中四樓將作為香港設計中心的總部，地下至三樓，則劃分成不同區域，用以舉辦演講、展覽、工作坊等各式設計相關活動，提升公眾對設計的認知，同時讓設計和創意業界交流並共享資源，藉此激發更多創意與合作機會。這些區域包括對公眾開放的前館（The Square）、快閃館（The Fashion-Pop）、展覽廳（The Gallery）、體驗館（The Box）、設計博物館（The Design Museum）、別館（The Annex）、展台（The Steps）、滙館（The Lounge）、物料館（The Barn）以及時尚焦點（The Fashion Spotlight）。

The Hub is located at 280 Tung Chau Street, Sham Shui Po. In the 2017 Policy Address, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government proposed new measures, and the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau recommended reserving approximately 3,600 square meters of commercial space across five floors at the redevelopment project of Tung Chau Street by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in Sham Shui Po to establish a design and fashion base.

The Hub spans five levels from the ground floor to the fourth floor. The fourth floor will serve as headquarters for the HKDC, while the ground to third floors will be divided into different zones for hosting a wide variety of design-related activities such as seminars, exhibitions and workshops. The space aims to enhance the public’s awareness of design, facilitate communication and resource sharing among the design and creative industries, and foster more creativity and collaboration opportunities for society at large. These zones include The Square, The Fashion-Pop, The Box, The Gallery, The Design Museum, The Annex, The Steps, The Lounge, The Barn and The Fashion Spotlight.

Inspired by the mission to better connect the burgeoning Groningen district, and to transform it into an interactive social space, De Zwarte Hond was commissioned by real estate developer MWPO to design a multifunctional and adaptive central building for the Inspired by the mission to better connect the burgeoning Groningen district, and to transform it into an interactive social space, De Zwarte Hond was commissioned by real estate developer MWPO to design a multifunctional and adaptive central building for the neighbourhood.

Meerstad is an up-and-coming district of Groningen. The area is popular for its open space, greenery, and the Woldmeer recreational lake, around which a neighbourhood with 5,000 new homes will be built in the coming decades.

The SuperHub represents a revitalized circular version of the traditional market hall design. It is expansive and transparent, with a supporting structure made entirely of cross-shaped laminated wooden columns and beams, providing the building with a cathedral-like appearance. The large span and nine-metre ceiling height create an exceptionally luminous space and offer the opportunity for flexible layout and usage adaptations in the future. The large canopy, which extends out more than five metres, provides sun protection and draws the structure into its green surroundings with the use of elegant columns and net-like wooden trusses. Additionally, cleverly designed cross forms provide the building with stability, ensuring that no additional wind bracing infrastructure is required. The choice of wooden construction also ensures a positive climate impact.

SuperHub is a modern symbiosis of a marketplace and shopping centre, where visitors can do their shopping and visit a trendy café. In addition, the structure was built to last and offers the possibility for future adjustments or additions. The flexible, open layout allows for its functions to be reinvented along with the changing needs of the community, meaning that it will not become outdated or be demolished in the future. The building could, for example, accommodate a community centre, a museum, or even homes in 20 years’ time.

The roof of the SuperHub has been reserved for the placement of solar panels and plants for bees and insects. The built-in air treatment installation, as well as the heat and cold ground storage, ensure an optimal and energy-efficient indoor climate. Additionally, the SuperHub’s flexible design allows it to fulfill a wide array of functions and activities, such as community gatherings.

Located in Harvey Milk Terminal 1 (T1), the new SFO Alaska Lounge from William Duff Architects (WDA) features clean lines combined with the inviting warmth and comfort of a hotel, across 11,000 square feet. The result is a welcoming, dynamic, and sophisticated environment that pairs well with the newly renovated world-class terminal.

To maximize the floor plan, WDA created distinct areas bathed in natural light while incorporating Alaska's established lounge zones—featuring spaces to “Come In,” "Take a Breath," "Help Yourself," and "Cut Loose"—and ensuring seamless transitions and the maintenance of a cohesive visual narrative. Each area is visually distinguished through the use of unique ceiling treatments and furniture arrangements, with curves softening the space and uniting the sections. By providing six different seating types—ranging from comfy banquettes to room for a laptop or the privacy of a phone booth—WDA exceeded the head count goal.

WDA also created a design statement featuring something uniquely San Francisco —the Golden Gate Bridge enveloped in fog. Located centrally as a buffer between "Help Yourself" and the active bar area, the 40-foot, laser-cut metal acoustic wall serves both as a focal point and a functional element.

【Colorful Wangjing / 炫彩望京】 The sculpture Colorful Wangjing is a new landmark created for Wangjing Sub-district in Beijing. It is located at the junction of Wangjing West Road and Futong West Avenue, which is a main intersection towards the downtown of Wangjing and is also an urban gateway. The concept and form of the landmark sculpture are derived from the modern interpretation and expression of "Wangjing", a place name that can date back to ancient times. "Wangjing" literally means "look out to the imperial city", implying that the imperial city is visible in this area, and thus it represents a strong identity of space and direction. What's more, from the satellite map, the extension of Wangjing Road next to the sculpture can reach Tian'anmen Square and hence the new landmark inherits the ancient meaning of "looking out to the imperial city". The design tries to communicate rich city context in a minimalist form, and to create a piece of public art that turns into a city landmark while harmonizing with future development and daily life. The outer circle of the sculpture, with a diameter of 18 meters and made of stainless steel, holds the inner circle— a hyperboloid LED screen through steel cables, together forming a simple form of an "eye". The outer circle is built with mirrored stainless steel to integrate the main structure into the environment, and the steel cables add a sense of suspension and mystery to the central "pupil". Project name: Colorful Wangjing Chief designer: Hu Quanchun Design firm: Field Conforming Studio 《炫彩望京》是為北京望京城區創作的城市地標。作品位於望京城區的望京西路和阜通西大街交會處，該區域是進入望京城區的主要路口，也是城區門戶。在古代，這一區域之所以被稱為“望京”，意指只要到達這裡就可以直接望見京城。由此可見，「望京」這一地名本身就具有空間標識性和方位指向性的意涵。巧合

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024!!!
