It is also our pleasure to share that Bob Pang and his research team has recently awarded Design Trust Feature Grant in January 2022 for the second phase of their research commitment to the brutalism architecture in Hong Kong. Which will extend the research into a deeper and wider context, acknowledging the facts and findings into analytical documentation for two book publications while further continuing the knowledge exchange among institutions and public on the topic of brutalism architecture with a regional focus.
