# Event Details - **Event Name**: Exhibition Tour - The Measure of Shade - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm (+08:00) - **Event Description**: An exhibition tour of The Measure of Shade: Luke Him Sau and Climate-Responsive Architecture in HK led by Eunice Seng and Jonathan Yeung.About this EventDrawing on the Luke Him Sau Architectural Collection at the HKU Libraries, The Measure of Shade: Luke Him Sau and Climate-Responsive Architecture in Hong Kong revisits Luke’s post-war architectural work through questions of climate, comfort, modern heritage, and architectural archives. Through plans, sections, photographs, digital mapping, and a series of 1:10 sectional models, the tour will examine five projects: the proposed Central Bank of China Guangzhou Branch, So Uk Estate Blocks P, Q, and R, Ritz Garden Apartments, Repulse Bay Towers, and Fair Wind Residence. Together, these works reveal a range of public and domestic living typologies — from commercial and institutional architecture to public housing, urban apartments, luxury residential towers, and the private house — while showing how Luke’s consistent architectural sensitivity shaped everyday life through deep eaves, balconies, corridors, and screens in response to Hong Kong’s dense, hot, and humid environment. Taking place on the final day of the exhibition, the tour will also feature the second rotation of original archival drawings, offering a different selection from those shown at the opening.----About the Tour Leads:Eunice Seng is Head of the Department of Architecture and Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong, and the founding principal of SKEW Collaborative, an award-winning architectural and research practice operating across Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
