DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: Book Presentation, P

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: Book Presentation, Panel Discussion and Guided Tour of #DesignTrustSeedGrant book publication “HONG KONG MODERN Architecture of the 1950s-1970s” is now open for registration at Goethe-Institut website.

The exhibition in Goethe-Gallery 21 January - 12 February 2022 is unique in combining photography and carefully researched background information. For the first time, based on their research, urban planner and photographer Walter Koditek and architect and researcher Charles Lai, will co-exhibit their work focusing on the architecture of the post-war period. More than 200 photographs of modernist building facades taken by Walter Koditek over the last five years are arranged for the exhibition in seven thematic grids grouped by building typology. These photographs are complemented by Charles Lai’s drawings, photographs, and models of fifteen iconic modern buildings, among them the Hong Kong Arts Centre by Tao Ho, thus showcasing the wide spectrum of architectural vocabularies and local characteristics of Hong Kong’s post-war modern architecture, as well as the colourful life stories of the Chinese architects behind these buildings.

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGran

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGrant book publication “HONG KONG MODERN Architecture of the 1950s-1970s” by Walter Koditek gives a comprehensive overview on the modernist architecture in combining photography, detailed background information and academic essays. In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them emigrated from Mainland China, embraced the modernist 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 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, this book aims to serve as a reference and enhance knowledge on modernist architecture of the post-war era in Hong Kong, and will contribute to the discussion of its architectural merit, historic and cultural values.

信言設計大使種籽資助計劃項目新書《20世紀50-70年代香港現代建築》記錄了超過300座建築物和建築群，結合攝影、翔實的背景資料和學術論文，對那個變革時期的現代主義建築進行了全面概述。在戰後的幾十年裡，許多香港建築師，包括很多從中國內地移民的建築師在內，積極探索現代主義原則，以此應對住房短缺、大規模建設和有限的預算。儘管經濟效益較之設計更受關註，但他們的建築植根於時間和場所，以獨特而務實的方式反映了當地的氣候、社會價值觀、材料、技術和用途。作為一個參照系統，此書旨在喚起人們對香港戰後現代主義建築的認識，並加深對其建築價值、社會、文化及歷史價值的討論。
