Re-architect @ Business of Design Week ’08 Hong Kong

Ronald Lenz — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:33:30 +0000

The Architecture of Hong Kong is extremely varied and diverse. Hong Kong has undergone different architectural era’s – based on Chinese and European tradition – and has for the last decades been in the ‘Metropolis’ era creating the worlds biggest skyline with a total of 7,681 skyscrapers. Hong Kong has become a centre for modern architecture, but due to the lack of available space, few historical buildings remain in the urban areas of Hong Kong, as older buildings are cleared away to make space for newer, larger buildings.

A perfect place to play Re-architect!

So come and play Re-architect during the Business of Design Week ’08 and rediscover the architecture of Hong Kong.
