Good Sharing of AAD Public Lecture – Architecture, Culture and Language

Library Events
(Issue 183/April 2022)

It was an honor to have Professor Alexander Law as the speaker of Public Lecture Series: Architecture, Culture and Language organized by the Department of Art and Design on 13 April 2022. Professor Law talked about architecture as a form of non-verbal expression of cultures, together with the interaction among architecture, culture, language and art. Both as an architect and an artist, Professor Law also illustrated in detail what a building represented over time and space and how important town planning was.

Stay tuned for the online video of the public lecture for revisiting the must-not missed sharing.
