Re-making Hong Kong

Architecture as culture

Response Exhibition of the 11th International Architecture Exhibition of Venice Biennale Hong Kong Exhibition – Fabrica Cultura



Contextualization remarking of Hong Kong

Recently I attended this exhibition about remaking Hong Kong. In this exhibition, one of the work title as ‘Contextualization remaking of Hong Kong’, by Desmond Hui, is an image of a manipulated images of Nathan road. It composed of various images and transforms the real, known area into a virtual and imagery landscape. Quite an interesting thought in my opinion, and make me raise a question: Since we can form any known landscape into something imagine, shall we use more of these as a planning tool prior to urban planning?
