  • 名可名,非常名 What’s in a name?
    Nov 23 2025

    [粵] 本集再次邀請Charles吳霆鋒和Henry葉振軒,一同探討近日關於港鐵站出口命名的話題。以老子《道德經》中「道,可道,非常道;名,可名,非常名」為引,思考公共運輸系統中標識設計的種種考量及一些相關的實踐案例。

    [Cantonese] In this episode we welcome Charles Ng and Henry Yip again to discuss the recent debate over the naming of MTR station exits. Drawing inspiration from Laozi’s Tao Te Ching — “The way that can be spoken of is not the constant way; the name that can be named is not the constant name” — the conversation explores the various considerations behind wayfinding design in public transport systems, as well as related real-world examples.

  • 同理心 Empathy
    Sep 21 2025

    〔粵〕設計思維系列的第四集,繼續由Peter Chuah蔡振嘉帶領我們探討設計思維內的「同理心」如何影響實踐的成效。設計的好壞是否見仁見智?設計思維中的同理心能否確保一個設計的質素?設計風格和具有同理心考量的作品能否共存?


    [Cantonese] In this fourth episode of our Thinking in Design series, Peter Chuah returns to lead us in exploring how empathy within design thinking impacts practical outcomes.

  • 笑談港式英語 Hong Kong English
    Sep 15 2025

    〔粵〕港式英語豐富多變,融會了中英文的語言背景及在地文化的特色。港式英語往往被視為非正宗英語,但近年Kongish冒起,成為香港文化身份的一部分,而有別於傳統上的Chinglish和港式英語。本集讓我們笑談港式英語具活力的一面。


    [Cantonese] Hong Kong-style English is a dynamic ‘dialect’ steeped in both Cantonese and English language cultures. Although Hong Kong English has long been criticised as improper, Kongish (as opposed to Chinglish and Hong Kong English) has emerged as an integral part of Hong Kong culture. This episode explores the funny and vibrant side of Hong Kong English.
