5 Kowloon colors, Hong KongKowloon is a district in Hong Kong, where most Hong Kong people lives in, schools located in, with many mountains. It is located in the north of Hong Kong Island, connected with the New Territories.

Almost all government public estate and government-subsidised private estate are coloured in white.

There are many temples in Hong Kong, with hundreds of years of history, inherited from ancient China.

40% of land area of Hong Kong is country park, not including some uncovered mountains.

There is a university in Kowloon, Hong Kong built with red bricks, which is unique among all other universities.

3 major public transport are coincidently coloured the same as the red traffic light.

Lastly, let us know what each image is describing. In year 2014, I offered a color course on a MOOC(Massive Open Online Course), in that almost 8,000 people from around the world were enrolled. So it was a great experience to see how these 8,000 people have documented the endemic colors of the place.

This year, we have around 40 students including track A and track B. It is (much^^;;) smaller number than 8,000, but still I am looking forward to watching regional colors. Also we have international students from different countries. I have a special expectation from our international friends.

In this way, the documentation part will be ready. The total number of pages must be six. The first five are the five sets of picture collage, and last sixth page is the summary page like in this slide. On coming Wednesday(April 8), you just need to present your 6-page slides using your laptop computer. You dont need to yet submit the work, because it is just a part of the entire project.

Based on the documentation, you will create a color design in next class. If you watch the following video lecture, it might be helpful to understand the entire scope of the endemic color project.

Thanks for your attention and see you on Wednesday!1
