The Hong Kong Heritage Project was established to collect and interpret the historical records of the Kadoorie Family, their businesses. During the visit Fanny Iu (Executive Director) and Melanie Li (Manager – Corporate and Community History) of The Hong Kong Heritage Project shared with the designers the Kadoorie business history and its relationship to Hong Kong’s social and economic development from 1884 to 1980. The designers also looked into the archive’s paper records, photographs, sound-tracks and films, architectural plans and maps, as well as oral history interviews. Some of the topics explored include Hong Kong’s rural communities, its industry, manufacturing and tourism scene, as well as Hong Kong’s post-war rehabilitation.
