🤖🪞 Take the AI Seal Challenge!

Can AI design the perfect seal face (印面)?

Use your favourite AI tool to create a custom seal in your preferred language or script style—whether that's traditional Chinese seal script (篆書), clerical (隸書), regular (楷書), running (行書), or English and other languages! The catch? The text must be mirror-reversed (反字), just like on a real seal before stamping.

Sounds easy? Getting the characters, layout, and mirroring right can be surprisingly tricky for AI. Can you craft the perfect prompt? 🧠💻

📍 Visit the Seal Exhibition at the 1/F Gallery for inspiration. Discover the artistry of human seal carvers and compare their craftsmanship with your AI creations.

📌 Share your AI seal designs—perfect hits or hilarious misses—on our gallery panel!

A Reunion Across Five Centuries: The Stone's Fleeting Shadow, The Paper's Reflection

🌿 “Beneath the bridge, the spring waves ripple in green,Where once a graceful shadow cast its fleeting sheen.”— Lu You, Shen Garden

🪨 A seal is a fleeting moment of grace carved upon stone; a seal impression catalog is its reflection cast across the long river of history. Yet, war and calamity have often torn these two apart. Bringing together 340 treasures from the collections of Chung Jam Hin and Shiqi Caotang, this exhibition reunites the fleeting grace captured on stone with its reflection preserved on paper after five hundred years. Be sure to drop by to experience this timeless reunion right on campus!

跨越五百年的相逢：石上驚鴻，紙上倒影

🌿 「傷心橋下春波綠，曾是驚鴻照影來。」—— 陸游〈沈園〉

🪨 印章者，是篆刻家留於石上的驚鴻一瞬；印譜者，是歷史長河中的一瞬之倒影。然戰火與人禍，常使二者分離。此次展覽集松蔭軒與十七艸堂兩家之藏品 340 種，讓石上之驚鴻與紙上之倒影，五百年後再度重聚。歡迎各位前來參觀，近距離感受金石文人的流光雅韻！

🌿 From Waste to Nature: Rethinking sustainable architecture

Thank you to the staff and students who joined our recent talk with Mr. Otto Ng from LAAB Architects. It was encouraging to see such strong interest and an active Q&A session.

During the talk, Otto shared how architecture can move beyond static buildings to become adaptable systems that actively heal our cities. Based on your feedback, a few topics particularly resonated:

🪵 Meaningful upcycling: Reusing old harbor timber for new furniture while preserving its historical texture.

💧 Urban resilience: The Tsui Ping River revitalization, connecting ecological concepts directly to our daily lives.

🏙️ Attention to detail: The unconventional approach to integrating nature and local culture into Hong Kong’s urban fabric.

Thank you, Otto, for an insightful sharing. For those who suggested more talks on sustainability and future exhibitions - we appreciate your feedback and have noted it for our future planning.

MSSS New Student Welcome Gala! 🎉

The Library team had a fantastic time meeting everyone and sharing our tips for making the most of the Library. Looking back, we realized a special milestone: we first joined the MSSS new student orientation in 2016, making this our 10-year anniversary of welcoming you all! 🕰️✨

The night was a huge success, filled with amazing student performances, fun games, and great energy. The highlight was learning the history of the University Anthem and singing it together. Feeling that strong OneHKUST spirit was especially meaningful as we celebrate the university’s 35th Anniversary this year! 🦅💙

Welcome to the HKUST family, new students! Hope to see you in the Library often. 📚👋
