Phiyona Au Yeung is among the first batch of graduates from the School of Architecture. Straight after graduation, she joined DLN Architects Ltd, one of the four major architectural practices in Hong Kong. ‘Architecture is about bringing out the spatially best. I’m averse to formulaic designs and I always try to inject new ideas into every project I oversee.’ Projects overseen include hotels, apartments, office blocks as well as recreational and entertainment facilities. Looking back on her career of over two decades, she still sees novelty in architectural work. Freespace at the West Kowloon Cultural District is Phiyona’s chef-d'oeuvre . The concrete material used for the external walls is used in the interior. The same material can have fine and coarse textures, just like a versatile actor can play different roles. An external wall of The Box has also been given a polished surface to serve as a 16:9 screen for an outdoor crowd, who can at the same time savour the spectacular view of the Victoria Harbour. Phiyona credits her thesis supervisor Prof. Steve Haughton for what he inspired in her: ‘He made me realize that a flower drawn doesn’t necessarily have to look like a real flower. Buildings themselves are open to various deconstructions.’ In 1997, she designed a ‘decentralized’ museum for her thesis titled ‘Hong Kong Museum of History’. In this alternative museum, historical artefacts are kept at their original places in the community to showcase the stark contrast between then and now. She believes that female architects have a vital role to play in this context: ‘As teamwork is highly valued in the profession, females have an edge in facilitating collaboration and resolving conflicts.’ After being a company director for over a decade, she has recently stepped down to take the role of a consultant. She is taking stock of her two-decade career in preparation for embarking upon the second half of her life. J. Lau 榜 上 友 名 / R oll C all A lum 歐陽明詩 是建築學院首屆畢業生，畢業後獲邀加入本港四大則樓之一劉榮廣伍振民建築師 事務所，她說：「建築在於把空間現有的特點發揮到最好。我不喜歡倒模式設計，總會為每個 項目注入新構思。」她負責過酒店、住宅、寫字樓和文娛設施等，回想這二十多年職涯，仍覺 得建築師的工作充滿新鮮感。 西九文化區自由空間是她的得意之作。室內裝潢應用外牆的混凝土物料，同一種物料可以有 幼細和粗糙不同質感，正如同一演員也可以在不同的角色上有不同的演繹。她刻意打磨「大 盒」的一面外牆，形成十六比九的大屏幕，公眾坐在草地欣賞節目時，可以遠眺維港景色。 畢業論文指導老師 Steve Haughton 教授對她啟發良多，「他令我明白到畫花不一定要似花， 建築物本身亦可以有不同的解構。」1997年，她以「香港歷史博物館」為論文主題，設計了「去 中心化」的另類博物館，讓文物保留在社區原有位置，展現過去與現在活生生的對比。 歐陽明詩認為女建築師有獨特的角色，「建築業由設計到建造都講求團隊合作，女性的溝 通能力有利團隊磨合，甚至能以柔制剛，化解矛盾。」擔任公司董事逾十年後，她近來退下火 線，轉任為公司顧問，盼望總結過往工作，預備走更精采的下半場。 破格築跡 Architecture Outside the Box 掃描閱讀全文 Scan to read the full story 中文 English 掃描獲取詳情或報名 Scan for more information or to register 06 # 5 4 7 / 5 4 8 | 1 1 . 1 2 . 2 0 1 9
