The Making of Hong Kong

From Vertical to Volumetric

Beschreibung

Portrayed as the 'accidental pioneer of a new kind of urbanism', Hong Kong's evolution is traced from its pre-colonial and colonial origins to the contemporary vertical and volumetric metropolis of towers, podia-and-towers, decks, bridges, escalators and other components of multi-level city living.
