「我經常這樣想，要從傳統學習，從傳統汲取靈感，但不要受制於傳統。我們必須做好準備隨時去適應，汲收傳統適當的元素。」
— Rocco Yim 嚴迅奇 (BA(ArchStud) 1974; BArch 1976; Hon DSocSc 2013)
“We have to be inspired by tradition, but we should not be enslaved by tradition. We should be always ready to adapt, and take what is relevant from tradition to suit the practical and contemporary needs of our present times.”
The Alumni News is proud to present an in-depth interview with Rocco Yim 嚴迅奇 (BA(ArchStud) 1974; BArch 1976; Hon DSocSc 2013), HKU alumnus and architect of the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM).
He shares with us his philosophy and principles in designing the iconic project in the West Kowloon Cultural District. The HKPM opened last month with displays of 914 artefacts from the Palace Museum in Beijing, as well as antiquities from HKU’s University Museum and Art Gallery.
