Hong Kong pavilion 2017 by Groundwork-Design statement
“The pavilion is a leaning tower; the only notable build typology that best represents the spirit and physicality of Hong Kong. There are 99 layers of poly-carbonate sheets; representing a 99 stories building?
Our approach is a minimalist one; we only wish to capture the essence of Hong Kong. We hated to be very busy.
We have attempted to encapsulate the color of Hong Kong: it is multi colored, white or transparent; it is also reflecting the surrounding. The colors of Hong Kong have always been ambiguous.”
《香港館2017》: 建築設計概念
香港人大部份的生活幾乎都發生在大廈裏面。所以我們設計了一楝大廈;一座躺臥在地上的大廈。她有九十九層,裏面膾炙香港人衣食住行的故事。
切身於《香港館》內,其實你正在攀爬這棟摩天大廈,與此同時在感受我們的空間及生活。
