The second phase of the exhibition will take place at the AIT Building on CUHK campus from 11 June to 24 June. This year, with the exhibition theme of &ldquo;Make Some Noise&rdquo;, all the design panels and models on display address different issues in society, with the hope of raising awareness and eventually making a lasting, real-world impact on the environment.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Apart from showcasing design works of thesis of the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> graduating class of the CUHK Master of Architecture programme, this year&rsquo;s Graduation Show also presents to the public the professional education offered by the CUHK School of Architecture and potential directions for architecture. In the exhibition, more than 40 individual thesis projects draw inspiration from a wide variety of topics, including housing, conservation, urban design, public infrastructure, traditional construction, architectural technologies and computational design.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">&ldquo;The thesis design projects exhibited are the &lsquo;noises&rsquo; we make. Through this exhibition, we aim not only to have our voices heard and presence felt, but ultimately to encourage society to express its needs and aspirations. We believe architecture can be a driving force for real social change.&rdquo; said Karen Kwok, President of the Graduation Show Committee.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Members of the public are welcome to visit the Graduation Show.
