Following a special tour to via.'s studio, Frank Leung (Founder & Principal, via.) shared with us his philosophy, design, and selected projects related to heritage and identity, including a 1938 Bauhaus family house renovation project in the Kadoorie estates, and the Holy Trinity Cathedral, sharing various ways of updating the character of the space while preserving the heritage characteristics of the building. Through other working examples, Frank also shared on the consideration of context, patterns, and craftsmanship, and the approach to translating the craft patterns into architectural design details. The concept of living heritage was also explored, how buildings should be used and continuously changing, creating a conversation between the old and new, people and history. With a multi-disciplinary approach, via. creates holistic design ideas and aspirations, updating heritage and making it relevant to the time.
