Knowledge Transfer Activities / Projects: A KT project was carried out with the financial support of the Knowledge Transfer Offices on the Chih Lin Complex in Diamond Hill, Kowloon. Together with Dr. Jack Lee and support staff such as Dr. Kenneth Yeung, I have finished a teaching package that can be used in teaching Liberal Studies in local secondary school. I also finished a paper entitled “Representing the Sacred and the Profane: A Preliminary Reflection on the Spatial Design and Sculptures of the Chi Lin Complex.”
