Summary:
In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from Mainland China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion. With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, the new publication ''Hong Kong modern architecture of the 1950s-1970s'' by Walter Koditek gives a comprehensive overview on the architecture of that transformative period in combining full-page photographs with detailed background information and further b/w images explaining and illustrating the design and history of these buildings.

Summary:
Hong Kong Inside Outside combines two major series of Wolf's work. For the first, Wolf has removed any trace of the horizon from the frame, capturing the relentless abstraction of the city’s residential high-rises while exploring the spatial experience of its inhabitants. For the second series, Wolf has juxtaposed the anonymity of these exteriors with interior portraits of 100 individuals and families surrounded by all of their belongings in identical public housing spaces that measure 100 square feet. This study forms in part a typology that allows the viewer to study how individuals make the confined spaces their own.
