A collaboration between architecture students from the University of Saint Joseph and media students from City University of Hong Kong, the Cloud Pavilion is a temporary structure located at the edge of Sai Van Lake. The tensegrity structure is constructed from bamboo rods, steel cables, and fabric panels, and enlivened by a computer-controlled light-and-sound show. By applying advanced digital design techniques to vernacular construction materials, the pavilion is intended as a link between Macau’s historical building traditions and contemporary cityscape. The opening night will feature live performances by a number of Macau-based artists.

ABOUT THE TALK
The sound environment is increasingly more relevant in contemporary culture. It is a ‘picture’ of a place, an X-ray of its character and activities, shapeless and amorphous, whilst full of meanings and subtleties. The research project of exploratory nature presented, emerge from the desire to find ways to use soundscapes as source material for significant artistic achievements. It studies the capture and catalog the sound ambient, its ecological decryption and specifically in its approach to artistic application. As such the proposal is an artistic reinterpretation of sonic material that surrounds us, and how it influences us.

ABOUT THE TALK
Territory has always been, and for sure will be, a key asset for mankind. Since remote times man tried to understand how to take most advantages (defense, nourishing, leisure, etc) from what surrounded him. We all are Geographers!
At the same time, territory is a man-made product reflecting decisions and actions taken. The increasing pace of society change and its complexification led to situations where man did not had that ability to foreseen the consequence of its actions. Missing or inaccurate data can partially explain it.
In the last decade technology evolution enable the establishment of new support decision tools and also a cultural change regarding geographic data.
This lecture will address the importance and increasing power of (un)Volunteered Geographic Information and Spatial Data Infrastructures, as new paradigms to produce, manage and explore spatial data towards decision support.

ABOUT THE TALK
1. HONG KONG’S BIG BANG: THE STORY BEHIND THE DISCOVERY OF HONG KONG’S SUPERVOLCANO (Dr. Roderick J. Sewell)
The talk will describe the clues that led to the discovery, what parts of Hong Kong are underlain by the volcano, what and where are its structural components, how the volume of the eruption was estimated, how the eruption might have unfolded, and what would have been the local and global effects.
2. GEOTECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF GEOPHYSICS METHODS IN HONG KONG (Professor Chan Lung-Sang 陳龍生教授)
Geophysical surveys in an urban setting are subject to anthropogenic noise, electromagnetic interference and traffic and other regulatory constraints. In spite of these limitations, a large range of geophysical techniques have been applied in Hong Kong in geological, geotechnical and environmental investigations. Among these techniques are surface and downhole seismic, GPR, microgravity, resistivity, magnetic, EM, acoustic, infrared thermography, gamma density, and gamma-ray spectroscopy. The speaker will give an overview of Hong Kong’s experiences with the application of the geophysics methods and discuss the applicability and efficacy of the methods for resolving various geotechnical problems.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Dr. Roderick J. Sewell (Hong Kong Geological Survey, GEO, CEDD, HKSAR),has been a member of the Hong Kong Geological Survey for over 26 years. Following completion of his PHD on an extinct volcano in New Zealand, he worked for the New Zealand Geological Survey studying volcanic geology and tectonics, with excursions to the Antarctic and USA.

Macau Daily report, April 9. The Macau HEI Committee for the Promotion of Gender Equality, which was set up by representatives from all ten higher education institutions in Macau last September, has developed a Policy Framework for the Promotion of Gender Equality and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment. The Committee recommends that the HEIs may take into consideration of their needs when they make use of this policy framework in developing their own polices. Recently the Committee discussed the Working Procedures for the Handling of Sexual Harassment Incidents that had been drafted by Prof. Vincent Yang, Pro-Rector of USJ.
According to Pro-Rector Yang, the Committee formed by the ten HEIs has received significant support from GAES, which demonstrates that the MSAR government pays attention to the protection of gender equality and encourages the HEIs to take effective measures in dealing with any incident of sexual harassment. The policy framework above was jointly developed by Prof. Ieong, Director of Rector’s Office of UM and Pro-Rector Yang of USJ based on the policies and experience of these two universities. The Committee has had detailed discussions of the framework and decided to adopt it. The framewok includes the basic principles and standards of gender equality in HEIs, as well as the responsibilities and measures for the prevention and investigation of sexual harassment. The Committee will recommend the Procedures to the HEIs as a document of guidance or reference for the development of their internal procedures.

About the Talk
China, now the second largest economy in the world, has been trying to liberalize its financial markets and adopt a more open and competitive environment for investors. Both stock and bond markets in China developed rapidly in the past twenty years, and played a significant role in its impressive GDP growth. The country’s financial markets are deepening, foreign investment keeps pouring in, and capital is flowing outward.
Yet a long-closed economy—even one with more than $3 trillion in foreign reserves—can’t swing open its doors overnight. China’s domestic financial markets will have to deepen and develop further, and become more effective and efficient. At the same time, its relative isolated market with barriers that prevent free capital flow will have to diminish gradually, and the country must win the trust of global investors. Continued reform in China, coupled with its connection with Hong Kong, an established international financial center with a close cultural and geographical tie with China, could make the country one of the world’s most influential players of capital in the years ahead.
Professor Wayne Yu from the City University of Hong Kong, a reputable scholar and practitioner who has witnessed and researched the development of financial markets in China and Hong Kong, will share his profound insight and foresight of the financial markets in China and Hong Kong to the students USJ and participants of "UCP International Week-China" program from Católica Porto Business School on April 18, 2016.
About the Speaker
Prof Wayne Yu, of the Department of Economics and Finance and Department of Accountancy, is the Assistant Dean (Executive Education) of College of Business at City University of Hong Kong (CityU).
Professor Yu is a reputable scholar who published numerous papers in the leading journals in finance. He is also holding the position of Examiner for Hong Kong Securities Institute and Hong Kong Society of Accountants, and conducted Product Demand Analysis for the Federal Government of Canada. He received his PhD in Finance from University of Alberta, and served as Associate Director of Graduate School of Business at Hong Kong Polytechnic University before he joined CityU.

This is a novice tournament that had debaters from institutions of Macau, Hong Kong and China, which invited very intelligent judges including the best debater of Asia and the WUDC tournament’s highest speaker point debater.
USJ EDS had sent Andrew Jong and Carman Kuok to parti
cipate in the tournament as debaters. Furthermore, myself and Victory Igbinobaro (the president of USJ EDS) had participated as adjudicators and Mukeh Kanagbo (USJ EDS coach) was invited to be the adjudication core.
Unfortunately, USJ team did not break into semi-finals, but they had learned a lot from the tournament. Andrew, as a first timer to debate tournament, learned a lot about how tournaments work, matters from different motions and techniques. Carman, on the other hand also learned a lot about different techniques in debating. Both of these debaters are going to the UADC tournament in Thailand, which is coming up in the end of May.
Once again, thank you for all the support from USJ. We ensure our biggest effort and contribution to the USJ EDS. More competitions and tournaments will be coming up soon, including the 2nd AP and UADC.

ABOUT THE TALK
Think of the city and all material around as a post-natural ‘augmented reality’, describing an overlap and constructed perception of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are supplemented by computational automation and digital sensory input.
This environment creates immersive experiences and information empowerment of the individual alongside the potential for intrinsic top-down control mechanisms for our hybrid civic environments.
The history of such spaces ranges from the baroque (constructed singular central viewing position, early panoramas, etc); modern cinematic constructs; and today’s sublime laser-point cloud scans and participatory MMORPG ego shooter games in social networks. It is here, within this postmodern digital simulacra where everybody has become part of Borges’ fable of the map that supersedes reality, where we exist and pose the hypothesis of an augmented architecture as an all encompassing interior state, feed-back controlled and choreographed as a scripted environment.
Over the past three years, studio tobias klein has worked on defining a contemporary architectural response to today's environment dominated by the non-physical, the ephemeral data streams and the virtual super-saturation of augmented reality.
In this simulacra we inhabit, we design spatial interfaces between the virtual and actual – exuberant augmentations. We believe that today’s shift in technological perception entices a shift in the architectural profession. If ignored, this re-articulation will render us bystanders into the most important evolution in spatial design since the development of the central perspective in renaissance times.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tobias Klein works in the fields of architecture, art, design and interactive media installation. His work generates a syncretism of contemporary CAD/CAM technologies with site and culturally specific design narratives, intuitive non-linear design processes, and historical cultural references. Before joining City University Hong Kong in the role as interdisciplinary Assistant Professor in the School of Creative Media and the architectural department, he was employed at the Architectural Association (2008-2014) and the Royal College of Art, (2007-2010), teaching students at the postgraduate level. The resulting works of his studio are exhibited international with examples being in the collection of the Antwerp Fashion Museum, the London Science Museum, the V&A, the Bellevue Arts Museum, Museum of Moscow and Vancouver. He is lecturing and published internationally with most recent articles focusing on the translation from craftsmanship to digital manufacturing."

ABOUT THE TALK
Since the mid-1990s, the reform of the Law of Criminal Procedure has been one of the most important law reform initiatives in mainland China. This reform has attracted great attention from the international community because of the tremendous effort to incorporate well recognised standards in international human rights law, especially those regarding due process and fairness in trials. In the lecture, Prof. Yue will introduce what has been changed in the Chinese criminal procedural law to incorporate these standards as well as the topics for debate and further reforms.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

She is Cooperator for the Ministry of Education of China to co-chair the Collaborative Innovation Centre of Judicial Civilization between China and Germany through CUPSL and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Crminal Law (Freiburg, Germany). She has participated in many important Chinese law reform projects that are supported by European countries. She has published 8 books and many papers. Aside from Chinese, she speaks English and German."
