The exhibition showcases these infrastructures that have shaped the city in the early postwar decades. The exhibition reveals how the city's often-overlooked architectural and urban achievements have for decades fulfilled the pressing mandates that cities around the world now face, like combatting climate change, managing extreme density, and maintaining a cultural life for citizens in shared public spaces. Curators Ar. Fai Au, Dr. Ying Zhou, and Ar. Sunnie S.Y. Lau highlight the collective intelligens of Hong Kong's public infrastructures that represents the city's shifting paradigm.
The exhibition is jointly organised by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation (HKIABF) and Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC), with The Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) as partner.
Venue: Campo della Tana, Castello 2126 - 30122 Venice, Italy
