Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, has been depicted on legions of maps, probably earlier and more frequently than any other city. This talk will survey the maps of Jerusalem through time, from the 6th century Madaba Mosaic map, to the early accurate maps from the late 19th century. Some of the maps depicted a realistic view of Jerusalem but many others are imaginary images of Jerusalem of the Holy Scriptures. Therefore the maps serve as a mirror through which we can look at the development of Jerusalem on one hand and at the perceptions of the Holy City held by European scholars and map-makers on the other hand.The event is co-organized by the Library and Division of Social Science. Prof. Kellee Tsai, Division Head and Chair Professor of Social Science, will introduce Prof. Rubin before the talk.A reception will be held before the talk at 12:30.Attendees can expect to acquire knowledge of the following:About historical-cultural aspects of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.Develop and deepen interests for geography and history.Develop artistic skills in appreciating historical maps and some basic skills and dimensions in appreciating maps. Admire the valuable special maps collection. RegistrationRegister at Library Event Registration.HKUST students may attain 1 hour credit for the HLTH1010 Healthy Lifestyle Course after attending the talk.

About the TalkFollowing the very successful book talk on his book "誰把爛泥扶上壁 – 你所不知的香港建築故事" in March 2017, this time Professor Fung will focus on some of his architectural projects mentioned in the book. He will use some of these projects as examples (such as Hong Kong Wetland Park) to talk about building materials of the modern/contemporary age.
