Dear Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology,
We wish to send our regards and condolences to Sri Lanka, especially for those who have suffered losses. Many in Hong Kong and China are on one hand shocked and furious on the other.
This is time to be united and not be divided, because that is the objective of terrorists. There is also a time for architects to rebuild the destructed.
Part of my heart never left Sri Lanka.
Warmest regards,
Manfred Yuen

Why two birds? Because I also got Wing Chan book too(a gift from the man that i would treasure)! I am in love with his montages. Stunning collections of Hong Kong fragmented beauty. @ f22 foto space
Two birds with one stone: Such an honour to be invited by Wing Chan to attend one of my idols, Mr. Liu Heung Shing 劉香城’s lecture at F22. Mr. Liu is perhaps one of the most esteemed photographers and journalists of this century. Very inspirational talk not only about journalism ,but life and China’s future(that’s what journalist will do too-to speculate). I am also not very surprised to hear that he doesn’t like to talk about cameras(just like I don’t like to talk about scale rulers and AutoCAD).

We must all thank Douglas So for moderating and organising this event. Thank you Mr. So! @ f22 foto space
Picnic makes perfect! We have designed 300 picnic mats for our guests at the talk. Hope that they will use them!First day having our first indoor picnic on our designed picnic mat for the Civic Exchange!
Sharing our passion and teaching 3-6 years old what architects actually do!On Wednesday, we had the honor of welcoming Mr. Manfred and his team of architects from Groundwork, Architects & Associates Ltd. to Blooming Buds. They came to share their knowledge about architecture with the children of the Blue Room who have been experimenting with developing their own floor plans over the past two weeks.
Mr. Manfred and his team do some amazing work and they do not only design high rise buildings. They showed us photographs of different structures which they had designed and these structures included: Hotels, shopping malls, playgrounds, kindergartens, and a wildlife education center (Cow City) in Mui Wo where cattle and humans can co-exist. They spoke about how all of these buildings started off with a vision and design. They showed us an example of a real model of an authentic “Chinese style” house and they also showed us the special tracing paper which is used for sketching out their designs. Each child was then given a piece of yellow tracing paper and the children were challenged to sketch out their unique ideas for building a tower.
Thank you to Mr. Manfred and his team for coming to visit us and for patiently answering all of our questions! It was an amazing learning experience for both teachers and children.
今天，非常感謝Ms. Rafaella邀請到她的朋友建築師Manfred先生和他的團隊，來到籽苗幼稚園，為我們講解他們的這個專業的內容，作為我們是次研究的一個增潤活動。
首先，Manfred先生為我們介紹他們團隊的建築項目有酒店﹑幼稚園等等，讓孩子們知道建築師設計的並不只是高樓大廈。然後，Manfred先生告訴孩子們一切的建築都從一張完整的設計圖開始。於是，他們給孩子們派發了一張特別的黃色紙張，體驗一下真正畫草圖的紙張是怎麼樣的。孩子們認真的畫起他們的草圖，然後跟大家分享他們有趣的主意!
最後，孩子們就用不同的積木和磁鐵塊把他們剛畫的草圖做了一個模型!
Manfred先生也不忘回應我們事前設的一些問題。他詳細地為孩子們介紹了他的工具箱和裡面的工具，耐心地回答小朋友的問題，也叮囑小朋友有一些工具是比較危險的。丁老師今天也上了一課，相信小朋友們也大看眼界了吧!
To inspire and be inspired!
