The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (PolyU Design) is hosting an exhibition, ‘Time-capsuled Histories: Six Decades of PolyU Design,’ until 11 November 2024, marking its 60th anniversary. The exhibition highlights PolyU Design’s contribution to design education in Hong Kong and globally.
Divided into five sections, the exhibition covers the School’s leadership evolution, curriculum, research development, alumni works, and publications. Notable works from graduates between 1973 and 2023 are featured, including projects ranging from wet market-inspired art to eco-friendly product designs.
Commissioned by Dean Kun-Pyo Lee, the exhibition was curated by a research team that spent over a year gathering artefacts from alumni and staff. A comprehensive timeline maps PolyU Design’s growth from its origins in Hong Kong Technical College to its present standing, reflecting key changes in industry trends and technology.
The exhibition highlights the role of design education in Hong Kong’s social and economic development. A key event is the ‘Time-Capsuling: The Untold Journeys of PolyU Design’ sharing session, led by former Associate Dean SIU King Chung, alongside alumni.
Open to the public, this exhibition celebrates PolyU Design's journey and its lasting influence on Hong Kong’s creative landscape.
