Summary:
Forced to thrust skywards by the constraints of its position on a narrow strip of land between the sea and high mountains, Hong Kong has developed a breath-taking skyline. One of the most densely populated areas in the world, it has a greater number of high-rise structures than any other major international city: more than 2,300 buildings at over 100 metres high – and(...)

Summary:
Forced to thrust skywards by the constraints of its position on a narrow strip of land between the sea and high mountains, Hong Kong has developed a breath-taking skyline. One of the most densely populated areas in the world, it has a greater number of high-rise structures than any other major international city: more than 2,300 buildings at over 100 metres high – and more are completed almost daily. The originally wild and now largely domesticated topography of the island seems exhausted, fully restricted and there is no more land to be taken from the sea. Mainly European and American architects have played a role in creating the buildings of Hong Kong, but local architects maintain their hold with confidence on this hotly contested market. This guide to architecture presents 100 characteristic buildings that define the urban landscape of the former British Crown Colony.

Summary:
"20:21 - Emerging Hong Kong Architects" presents a spectrum of 20 architectural works from 20 Hong Kong architects selected from an open competition "Emerging Hong Kong Architects" organized by Hong Kong Institute of Architects in April 2003. Architects participating in the competition were asked to respond to 'architecture' amidst this complex 21st century where multi-disciplinary frontiers are more obscure than ever, space topographies are transforming, and active hybridization is in the making. In the book, the architects write about their aspirations in their profession, present their views on architecture, and explore future scenarios; each of different modulations and sensibilities expressed in their own architectural language, and some articulated through the exploration process with various art forms. In a joint effort to navigate through the vista of architecture, this is the first publication from Hong Kong Institute of Architects bringing together a multitude of the established, the upcoming and the heretofore unknown young architects in Hong Kong. Publication in English and Chinese.
