A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream
The midsummer breeze gently flipped the corner of the calendar page, June has arrived in the blink of an eye. Surrounded by the droning shrill of cicadas, the world starts to get heat up. About four hundred years ago, the great Shakespeare’s literary thoughts were frequently raging like the rainwater of early summer. A rhapsody of tribute to love - “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was thus born, depicting the love stories of three pairs of lovers in a light and fanatic style.
However, the summer belongs not only to the divine and lovers, it is also the time when people’s pursuits of dreams harvest results. Each of the projects listed below has had its own time of preparation, which is many times longer than a dream in the night. Our hope is simple: that you have appreciated the accomplishments of our events, feeling like you have enjoyed this dream of a hearty and satisfactory midsummer night!
仲夏夜之夢
仲夏的微風輕輕翻動月曆的頁角，眨眼間已經來到了六月，人間在夏蟬的鳴聲環繞下，顯得越發熱鬧了。四百多年前，大文豪莎士比亞的文思像初夏的大雨一樣洶湧，一首向愛情致敬的狂想曲一－－《仲夏夜之夢》便隨之誕生，以明朗輕快的筆調，描述了三對戀人的愛情故事。
然而，夏天不僅屬於神仙眷侶，更是熱愛追夢的人收割成果的時候。以下臚列的各個項目，光是籌備的時間，就已經比夜裡的一場夢要長許多倍了，不過，盼望各位欣賞過我們的活動成果之後，感覺就像做了一場酣暢淋漓的仲夏夜之夢一樣痛快滿足！

Summer is a Book of Hope to be Uncovered
Back when we were students, summer was the spirit of no school and wrapping up the academic term for vacation. As the spring days are gone, we are pleased to announce the official completion and fruitful results of the project “From Mass Production to Scale Customisation: Challenges and Opportunities for Hong Kong Industrial Design Professionals” (M2S).
Comparable to the possibilities, adventure and exploration that summer signifies, the M2S researchers have incessantly worked on synthesising and analysing insights of the 70 interviewed manufacturing and design professionals in the past few months. The results are a comprehensive e-guidebook featuring representative scale customisation cases and the way to go. The e-guidebook also comes in an online text-version research report, together with a 3-minute video that highlights the major workshops and exhibition events of the project.
We are most happy to share with all of you, contributors and fellow supporters of the project, the fruits of the project and research. Please click on the corresponding hyperlinks below for access:

Once again, we would like to express our thanks to all who have participated in and supported the project. Without you, the project would not have been such a great success!

夏天是一本有待揭開的希望之書
當我們還是學生的時候，夏天的意義就是學期完畢，不用上學準備放假的心情。隨著春天過去，我們很高興向大家宣布「量產客制化：香港工業設計專業的挑戰與機遇」（M2S）項目已經正式完結並獲得理想成果。
堪與夏天所象徵的可能性、冒險和探索媲美，M2S研究人員過去數月來一直馬不停蹄地綜合和分析70位受訪製造商和設計專業人士的見解。一本全面的電子版指南於是應運而生，當中包含具代表性的量產客制化案例和未來方向的建議。電子版指南更附帶一份自身文字版本的網上研究報告，以及一段3分鐘的精彩花絮短片，重點介紹是次項目的主要工作坊和展覽活動。
我們非常樂意與你及所有項目的貢獻者和其他支持者分享項目和研究的成果。請點擊以下相應的超鏈接瀏覽各項成果：
