Liang Yi Museum is pleased to co-present our January edition of Liang Yi Talks with the Asian Cultural Council (ACC), featuring Angus Ngai (ACC 2013 Fellow) as the speaker. He was awarded the ACC Fellowship in 2013 and conducted research on architecture in the United States. Angus is the CEO of Jia Culture Research Foundation. With a background in furniture design and architecture, Angus's research also focuses on Chinese philosophy, and his work seeks to incorporate the aesthetics, culture and values of Chinese philosophy into contemporary designs . In this lecture, Angus will provide an overview of how ancient timber architectures were constructed, and explore the functions and artistic values of dougong, - a type of supporting structure unique to ancient traditional Chinese architecture.
古時的木建築彷彿是因應自然變化而出現，當中縱橫交錯的榫卯結構，恰似是偶然發現的一種模式。 斗拱作為傳統中國建築的重要支承部分，它猶如一棵樹，連繫著人工與自然世界。 本期講座兩依藏將與亞洲文化協會合作，邀請到魏忠漢先生（亞洲文化協會2013年會友）作演講者。建築師魏忠漢畢業於香港理工大學設計學院，其後在香港大學獲得建築學碩士學位，於2013年獲亞洲文化協會獎助前往美國進行建築相關考察。現任家文化研究基金會執行長的他有家具設計與環境設計的背景，致力研究傳統中國哲學，希望將其美學，文化及生活價值，承傳於當代設計。是次講座，魏先生將會把斗拱一一拆解，了解古代的建築文化。
