Sing me a lullaby, When the night gone dark. The city glow without a spark, When the stars lost their glory, People live in gloom and doom. What we see are actually fragments of our impression. A flash of memory, A glimpse of sight, An object that mingle in our mind, Dejavu of what we experienced in the past. Would you get lost in the drift? Would you be frightened of the darkness? As what we see are not real, You should not be afraid. We all live in this world of transient illusion. Stay with me and let all the wrong subside How could you define? Who’s the one to give a sign? Sleepless in Hong Kong And you could enjoy this magnificent metropolis, In the City of Darkness. by CHAN Nga Yin, Amy 1

This is the announcement for flight AP0526 to Dream. We are now inviting those passionate passengers to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready.
Passenger Christine So I first met Christine at a random occasion during a meeting with photographer Simon Wan. She came by to drop off a camera for Simon and left. Although our contact was brief, just a few moments to exchange a smile, it was rather memorable. I saw a young lady, one-legged on a high heel and with crutches. Since I am a girl too, I can imagine the pain of being in a pair of high heels. But on just one, with aid from crutches, how challenging would that be? Yet her effortless expression was so charming and respectful. You could tell being on one leg won’t stop her from doing anything she wants to. Simon told me that she started the concept of Holga Inspire with very little help and has organised many events across the world. I could not wait to meet her. “Traveling with crutches does not bother me at all. In fact, I enjoy the freedom of having one leg again. I was born this way and used to carry a prosthetic leg. The movement was very awkward and caused unwanted attention. I often stayed home and did not have enough courage to even cross the harbour. At some point, I could not have the prosthetic leg any longer. I am different anyway, so I started using crutches for mobility instead. The total freedom it offers me is fantastic and I can wear a heel!”
She went backpacking in Europe after graduating from university and had the opportunity to work for an art gallery in Vienna, from which she was just part way in the art curating work. Back from the year-long trip, she applied for many jobs, however most got turned down due to her disability. Her destiny and Holga camera are somehow related and both equally unexpected. Creating impact began with a very basic idea. Entering her current company as her first job, never having used a Holga camera nor being an experienced photographer, she proposed to her boss the idea of Holga Inspire. It could be a collective platform for Holga users through exhibitions, events and educational programs. The persistent of TM Lee, creator of Holga, has moved Christine and of course many die hard users. Holga Inspire has taken flight, giving a platform for the community to exchange ideas and inspire each other. Even celebrity photographers like Michael Kenna also use Holga to create fine art images. “Change the other’s mind, let our light shine,� she concluded as her philosophy. She will continue to borrow powerful imagery and spread the story of this legend.
“To be honest I don’t really believe in dreams. Dream is a word too romantic to me. I only see goals and paths to achieve them. What I really want to do in my life is to subvert the environmental problems caused by mainstream anthropogenic ideologies. The idea of swap parties just built up naturally through the past decade. I think it is a natural thing that our society needs. In the beginning, people poured cold water on this idea of a swap. They thought it was a short-sighted and obscure thing that I was just doing for fun. But right since the beginning I had a picture in my head - imagine you and I have all our properties all laid on the table, so you can see what you can borrow from me and vice versa. Then imagine a whole city, or a whole world, having their possessions all put together - this pool of materials means a sharp cut in consumption, better communication and social harmony. The idea also draws attention to a lot of great social and environmental values. Swap is a means of waste reduction, so you don’t throw away usable stuff but look for an owner instead. When you need something, you can check if you can get it from others before you buy. The funniest part is that it is actually a primitive, social activity; it’s what our ancestors did for millennia to solve their problems. But consumerism makes it look alien. JUPYEAH is about recalling this conscious phenomenon. Swap parties were our first step, and one of the things we have done, taking small and big steps, to reach this stage. It’s as small as design and event coordination, or as big as talks, education campaigns etc. I think the only way to achieve something is to do whatever it takes. I have angst I need to deal with, about the future and whether generations can live on. This is why action at this moment counts.”
Passenger Ren Wan
Passenger Aidan Li “ I was very lucky to receive funding to start my first gallery in Sydney after graduation. It was a prize from the government, and that meant only a very small number of us would benefit. We artists and designers have barely any support besides our rich passion to survive, therefore we must collaborate and help each other out. Such community exists there, but not in Hong Kong. I started Easy Pack, an industrial building for studio rental to benefit people working in a creative business while I continued running the art gallery in Sydney. I realize that financial aid is not the ultimate resolution for artists, and furthermore I am not the government. So here we try to help by providing creative solution to meet their needs to run events, exhibitions and a form a hub to connect with others. Last year I started curating art for large event like Detours and Clockenflap, and these venues provide a great channel for art communication while also opening up many job opportunities for artists. We need more large events like these rather than the West Kowloon Cultural project with its extremely high budget. If they ever fail, the entire city would place blame on the creative culture and make our livelihood even harder to sustain.�

Passenger Kacey Wong “Home and flat mean literally the same thing, but home adds a sense of belonging so that it can be only true place where your heart is.” Having said that, Kacey first started having a concrete idea of home when he studied architecture aboard. Home was far to reach, but always remembered in his heart. Compare to art, architecture is more for practical and therefore unable to convey a higher level of communication. Therefore Kacey decided to leave all he owned in his early successful career to pursue a life exploring art. He left home again and went to England to study sculpture. From time to time, his works are in fact a reflection of home presented in different formats, such as Paddling Home, a 4x4 ft. home that sails around. His award winning installation, Sleepwalker, features a two level bed equipped with wheels that lets you take home anywhere with you. Art has a social function when it addresses aspects of collective life, as opposed to different points of view or experiences. To him, the culture of our home, Hong Kong, is a mess that needs to be fixed. Through art and actions, he aims to point out the issues and demonstrate to the public. There are touching moments when people show an understanding of the deeper meaning behind his work, by salutation, giving a thumbs up, a subtle but powerful response. Here he illustrates a lost place in the story of Drift City (one of his photo series of himself in his skyscraper suit around the world), describing a tragic ending if one can no longer address home. “The main character in this tale is a not so significant, and soon to be forgotten skyscraper. It does not remember when it was constructed and it does not remember the faces of those people who once lived there. In its lost memory there seems to be a mission, yet it cannot remember exactly what it is. It drifts in space, between reality and utopia, endlessly searching for an ideal city. “
In school, we were forced to make book reports with the story books provided to us. The process was painful and seemed to last forever. I remember no one else in class enjoyed having to do them. How ridiculous that it was designed to promote reading! So, as you can tell, I never liked reading that much and never imagined myself ever working in publishing. However, that was a time when I did not have the ability to see the power of word. Moving to Europe has given me a whole new perspective on books, and since then I have developed a huge passion for magazines. Visiting newsstands and bookshops has become a joyful thing to do. I flip through those unaffordable ones and collect many outdated magazine issues too. Updated data is not that important to me as long as the content is interesting. How beautifully crafted these magazines are, from content to layout and photography. There is a whole world to learn in the concepts. I admire the intelligence they possess and the endless inspiration they provide. On the other hand, in Hong Kong there are so few magazines that inspire me. Are we not able to afford a diversity of magazines? Are all 7 million of us happy with the available choices in market? Hong Kong backfires on its claim to be an international city if it doesn’t have a clear vision for culture. And hence my story in publishing started in 2010 as cofounder of Antipasto with my friend Giorgio in Milan. Although the distance partnership didn’t work so well, it’s still alive after three years, with large support from family and friends. Most achievements come with a price, and mine is a lost opportunity. During the past three years, I have worked very hard to prove to my parents that it’s all worthwhile. But success does not happen overnight, and my attempts to fight time were a total disaster. Not only did I suffer a decline physically, but also missed out on family time. Last year my father eventually passed away due to lung cancer. I wish I had shared my dream and path with him when I could. As the saying goes, “The journey is more important than the destination.”

The Antipasto team had an early celebration at over five hip dining spots in town, sampling Thai, Spanish, Peruvian, Italian and Cantonese cuisines.
Let’s toast to good food and good companions: “Wine is sunlight, held together by water.” - Galileo Galilei 23
Athena: Guys, any idea where should we go for our year end gathering? Kevin: Oh hot pot season, I know one called Canton Pot in Mong Kok with some special dishes. Fannie: I want to go Chicha, the atmosphere is very fun and it’s super yummy food. Brian: Cool! I have a few in mind like Chachawan and my new favourite bar Pez serving Spanish tapas. Louis: Chachawan? I haven’t been there yet, is it any good? Brian: They serve modern Thai food. Some hipster friends of mine said its pretty good... shall we? Our foodie friends Brian and Kevin can’t help talking about the food. The rest of us just let them do the talking while we kept our mouths busy. . Kevin: I love the Som Dtum there. I don’t usually like eating papayas but I love the texture of the young papaya together with the sweet and sour flavours of the sauce. Brian: I agree! The pungent flavour of the fish sauce balances out nicely with the fresh green papaya slices, and the diced up pork belly adds in another layer of crunch. Kevin: The Larp looks a bit different from the one I had in Laos before which has a finer texture and a bit less savoury taste. Brian: Pork neck is nice. The tender and succulent flavour goes perfectly with sticky rice. And the salt baked sea bass is not bad too. The texture on the meat is more on the softer side and lacks firmness. Lemon grass and Pandan leaves are well matched in this dish. Kevin: It’s quite common for people of Issan to have Khao Niew as their main staple. That’s why it goes really well with their food.
ORDERED DISHES AT Chachawan (206 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan T: 2549 0020) • Som Dtum Moo Grop (Thai papaya salad with dried shrimp and crispy pork $98) • Goong Golae (Grilled Tiger Prawns in dry red coconut curry $188) • Larp Moo (Minced pork with Thai basil $108) • Salt baked seabass stuffed with lemon grass (Pla Phao Glua $268) • BBQ pork neck with lime fish sauce (Khor Moo Yung $148) • Coconut rice dumplings in Coconut cream (Kanom Dtum $58) The featured dishes are a good portion for 3-4 persons, average spending $300 (not counting drink and dessert)
ORDERED DISHES AT CHICHA (26 Peel St, Soho T: 2561 3336) • Trio of Ceviche (Corvina, Tuna, Mixto $295) • Tiradito King Fish ($168) • Causas (Salmon, Squid, Black Cod $195) • Anticuchos (Corazon $60, Pollo $55, Oh My Cod $95, Salmon $75, Tenderloin $75, Camote $40) • Lomo Saltado ($315) The featured dishes are a good portion for 4 persons, average spending $300
Causa is a potato dumpling mixed with lime, onion, and chili. The dark one is made from purple potato topped with salmon, passion fruit and avocado aioli. topped with a squid ball, aioli with aji panca, another chili native to Peru. topped with black cod and wasabi aioli
Louis: Cicha is one of the few Peruvian restaurants in town. Why are there so few South American restaurants? Brian: Probably too difficult to source authentic ingredients. Brian: In Peru, I used to have Inca kola and Pisco sour all the time in the Amazon. Fannie: That’s a favourite national drink. Tastes a lot like cream soda!
Waiter: Trio of Ceviche. (Trio means 3 and ceviche is basically South American sashimi, raw fish “cooked” with lemon/citrus acid known as “leche de tigre” or tiger’s milk.) Louis: Let’s see, there’s sea bass, tuna and mixed seafood with scallops, shrimps and octopus. Kevin: The sea bass ceviche is the most traditional with purple onions and sweet potato. These are different. They’ve added watermelon to the tuna and orange juice to the leche de tigre making them sweet and sour. The mixed seafood ceviche is a bit yellowish because they added passion fruit and dried corn gives some extra crunch. Brian: Hey, this Tiradito King Fish is my favourite. It’s yellowtail fish, hamachi in Japanese. Kevin: Yellow chili (aji amarillo), iconic in Peru, is in the tiger’s milk. Fried sweet potato chips add good crunchiness. Let’s order some Anticuchos (grilled skewers). I like Corazon (grilled beef heart with a cream of yellow chilli and walnuts). The firm texture and crunch works with the sweet metallic taste and cream. Brian: Tenderloin with aji limo cream (local chili from Peru). Very tender and moist. Louis: Another fusion dish here, black cod with Ponzu miso and aji rocoto aioli. Fannie: Camote (sweet potato) with ocopa and quail egg skewer? What is Ocopa?
Kevin: Ocopa is another indigenous recipe of Peru that doesn’t have an English name. It’s a special sauce made from Tagetes minuta and aji mirasol. A bit tangy and salty but well balanced with the sweet potato! Brian: Such contrast of flavours in Peruvian food! Athena: Here comes our big dish for sharing. The Lomo saltado, a Chinese inspired dish believe it or not, it is actually made with a WOK and soy sauce! Brian: Did you know that Peru has one of the biggest China towns in South America? The food influenced Peru’s national cuisine. Kevin: This lomo saltado is like a stir fried beef tenderloin with scallions, chilies, and tomatoes. So special how the rice is wrapped in pork fat, deep fried in oil, hidden in the middle and topped with an egg. Dig into the brown ball to find the rice inside!
29
Louis: Bombana’s Otto e Mezzo is the only three-starred Michelin Italian restaurant outside of Italy. His new causal place Ciak must be the talk of town! Athena: Who wants to lunch there today, hands up! ( everyone raised their hand.) Fannie: I’m excited. Kevin, Brian, what’s your thought on the food? Kevin: The crust of this pizza is quite different! It’s got good crunch to it, quite fluffy and very light. Brian: It’s not very typical Italian, but they import all their flour from Italy. I also like their homemade sausage on the pizza, very hearty and has a good bite. Though there’s no tomato sauce on the dough, the juice from the mushroom is a great substitute. The Fritto misto looks nice but it comes with tartar sauce, more of an American Italian style, and the batter is thick and the seafood seems overcooked. Kevin: This grilled homemade sausage is my favourite. I love that livery metallic taste, feels rural and rustic! Brian: The iberico pork is a bit dry but the lemon and mustard really go exceptionally well with it. Athena: I must say, the lasagnette is al dente! The sauce is matched really well too. Louis: True. You lived in Italy, so you are allowed to say that.
Fannie: Guys, the toppings do not match that well with the panna cotta underneath. Although I am a sweet tooth and love the fact it’s sweet in taste. Brian: Agree. The texture is good but the cinnamon seems way too overpowering. Can’t taste the panna cotta afterwards. Kevin: Whereas, the tiramisu...oh my god, it’s good! the coffee ice cream is to die for! Brian: The gelato has a very strong coffee flavour without any ice crystals. Nice and smooth. A good match with the tiramisu! Louis: There’s coffee jelly at the bottom. That’s a twist!
The recipe of Sgroppino Originated from Veneto, it is served after meal as a digestive, a more refreshing choice of dessert drink. Ingredients (serve 2)
ORDERED DISHES AT CIAK In The Kitchen (Shop 327-333, The Landmark, Central T: 2522 8869) • Norcina Pizza ($170) • Lasagnette ($180) • Fritto Misto ($220) • Grilled Iberico Pork Neck ($220) • Signature Homemade Sausage ($80) • Pannacotta ($78) • Tiramisu ($88)
The featured dishes are a good portion for 4 persons while dessert is more for one. Average spending $300 (excluding drink)
1 cup chilled Prosecco 2 tablespoons chilled vodka 1/3 cup frozen lemon sorbet 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh mint leaves Preparation Evenly distribute the Prosecco and vodka into 2 Champagne flutes, then add a scoop of sorbet into each flute. Sprinkle with mint and serve.
Canton Pot, Lodgewood (1131 Canton Road, Mongkok, T: 3968 7777) • Four different hot pot sets for one person available at $348
Kevin: Canton Pot is a brand new hot pot place in Kowloon that I’ve been wanting to try! There are so many different soup bases to choose from. Some creative ones like Korean gaelbi (beef short ribs), Truffle and mixed mushrooms, and Braised fish head with Chinese herbs. Brian: Cool, time for a change. The soup base is the soul to the hotpot experience. A different soup base can give you a whole new experience! Louis: Let’s order beef neck muscle, a very rare part that is really hard to find in the market! Brian: Some new meat ball varieties here and the dumplings have some interesting ingredients, full of texture and flavours. Unlike the ordinary “Mu Er” mushroom, here they use Morchella mushrooms instead. Athena: The mushrooms must have great umami flavour. It adds a lot of depth to the flavour of the dumpling! I particularly love the truffle and mixed mushroom soup base. Oh my goodness, check out the mushroom platters. They are all different seasonal mushrooms. Mushrooms are my thing! Fannie: I want a vegetarian hot pot on my own The veggie pot looks so cute and appealing. Louis: Yes, you can actually order a 1 person hot pot set. Very convenient! I’m pretty stuffed now. Who wants herbal tea?
The recipe of Café Gray Christmas Eggnog - special recipe of Chef Gray Kunz) Ingredients [serves 8 to 10] 6 eggs separated 1/2 cup of sugar (for egg yokes) 1 cup of cognac 1 cup of milk 2 teaspoons of sugar (for egg whites) 3/4 cup of heavy cream 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon of allspice 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg Preparation Combine egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff (requires a good deal of whisking) in a double boiler. Chill. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to egg whites and beat until stiff. Chill. Whisk cream until stiff. Chill. Combine spices with cold milk. Whisk together the milk and egg-yolk mixtures. Fold in egg whites and whipped cream gradually adding in cognac. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve in cold glasses and dust with nutmeg.

Fannie: Let’s go to Brian’s place for happy hour! Brian: Yes, they have very good cocktails and great food for all of us! Louis: The iberico skewer looks very crispy. Nice and tender and fat, quite juicy in fact. Kevin: I’m not a big fan of quail. You guys go ahead. Brian: Sure! It’s not overcooked. The chard on the bird actually gives the dish more character when the mild spiciness of the paprika kicks in. Athena: have you ordered the seafood platter yet? It’s good bang for the buck, especially the scarlet prawn. The larger size and sweetness are to die for. The scampi are equally fabulous with different levels of sweetness. Brian: I would suggest having the scampi before the scarlet prawns since the roe has a very bold seafood flavour. I’d wipe the juice with bread from the bottom of the pan!
ORDERED DISHES AT PEZ HKC (4-5 Wo On Lane Central T: 2408 6000) • Brochetas de Iberico - Iberico pork skewers $89 • Braised Iberico Pork Belly with mango salsa $99 • Pork burger with cheese (choice of manchego, tetilla or mahon cheese) $118 • Cheese platter (manchego, tetilla, mahon and cabrales $199 • Iberico Cold cut platter – Jamon, chorizo, salchichon & lomo $299 • Grilled Seafood platter (scarlet prawns, langoustines, red shrimps with blue mussels & clams) $549 • codorniz a la plancha – grilled quail with pimento & honey $89
The featured tapas dishes are good for 5 persons, average spending $300 (drinks by consumption)
Kevin: Since you like iberico so much, Louis, you will like the stewed pork belly with mango salsa. Brian: The crispness from the toast and the pork belly gives a contrast of texture and flavour. It’s almost gelatinous without being excessively oily which will be great with a glass of cava to wash it down. Louis: Yup, the acidity and the bubbles of cava to cleanse the oil and prepare the palate for the next dish. I am the biggest fan of iberico. Brian: Dare to try the iberico fat infused cocktail? Very molecular what they do here. Fannie: No, it’s Christmastime, so we should go for the festive cocktails. Athena: Get me a rosemary fizz please! Brian: Got cold cuts here then we can start drinking for the night. They import their own supplies and I really love the products they use! lomo iberico for instance...

LIFE IS A PLAYGROUND
Do you get a tickle in your stomach by just looking? We may regret growing too fast and not having the chance to play at one of these fun playgrounds by Monstrum.
39
The master minds behind Monstrum are Ole B Nielsen and Christian Jensen, both from the world of theater production where fantasy thrives. With their company set up, they began building one visual story after another to inspire kids to move and learn. For example The blue whale in Gothenburg, a popular animal in children’s fiction, has a wide opened mouth which leads all the way to the stomach, challenging kids’ imaginations, sense of adventure, and motor skills. Flip the Monstrum’s story book and you’ll meet the Dancing Houses, parrot, the giant spider, rolly polly, mushrooms and many other play buddies.

As we arrive at our last printed issue, I feel moved to talk about the relationship between design and us. A good design should place humans at the center, with top priority placed on fulfilling our needs and resolving problems. Buildings can provide shelter, privacy or be venues for a variety of different events. On a public scale, built structures should reflect a complex consideration of all facets of our existence, including political, social, cultural and moral. Issues of sustainability and usage are important too. Here we look at some international public space projects designed by the speakers of BODW 2013.
In the heart of Ghent center stands the world’s tallest belfry and two other gothic towers adjoined with a rather remarkable contemporary construction – the Market Hall designed by Hilde Daem (Robbrecht en Daem) in collaboration with Marie-José Van Hee. The monument sized market hall of 40m long has drawn a contrasting architectural statement of abstraction, yet a coherent gothic style with reference to triangular gabled forms and the use of a more homogenous paving. Light penetrates through a repetitive pattern of small windows on the wooden ceiling, the exterior protected by square glass which adds a subtle glow of modernity to the natural materials. Although it has caused some debate among Ghent’s residents, urbanity has been infused in an ingenious way, providing an open end to further development.
Having worked as a scenographer, Olivier Bastin has a unique approach toward landscape. The results are somewhat humble yet offer a highly effective design for public spaces. He largely promotes an artist residence program in which he can gain inspiration, closely observing the relationship between space and performing artists. Ursulines Square is a skate park in Brussels offering comprehensive facilities such as ramps, jumps, bars, and benches for rollerblading, skateboarding and BMX. The location on the junction between the north and south railway stations has been a traumatic intervention in the urban landscape for over a decade. The square attracts a wide range of audiences of all ages including many youth who come here for sport, bringing a vibrant and energetic spark to the area. Interestingly, it is still closely connected to its neighborhood which has a chapel, a social housing building and the Marolles area (an ancient district of Brussels). A number of informative sessions with the neighbours, workshops with prospective users, and skateboard classes for kids have been taken place.
Holmenkollen village, 20 minutes from Oslo, is one of the top winter sport destinations and hosted the first ski jumping competition as well as a number of legendary winter sport events since 1892. The glory days of the Holmenkollen Ski Jump almost ended when the International Ski Federation decided that the current hill did not meet sufficient standards to award the city the 2011 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in September 2005. JDS Architects was commissioned the new jump project after participating in a competition with 103 other firms. Its winning proposal described a mesh of stainless steel stadium rising 58 meters in the air, taking the longest cantilever of 69m to build. The jump curve exposes a serpentine shape raised from ground. This unified design with everything contained into the shape of the jump, offers a magnificent view for spectators. The lower end exhibits a form similar to a curved spoon, and the arena is found along the extruded curve with the stage at center. At the very top of the structure is the public square featuring 360 degree views.
It’s not hard to imagine the challenges involved in designing a pavilion for a world expo. The translating of a country’s identity into architectural language is boundless. Famous architectural structures like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Atomium in Brussels are good examples of this feat. Belgium, although geographically small, claims top positions repeatedly in a diversity of fields, from diamonds to fashion, beer to chocolate and more. Christine Conix illustrated the relationship between Belgium and the rest of the Europe by using the analogy of a brain cell, important placement in the center as a crossroads of civilisation. Innovations in biotechnology, chemistry and nanotechnology are also referenced here, echoing the concept behind the Atomium in 1958. Sustainability was another key consideration, as the structure performed in a number of cutting-edge directions in recycling, reusing, greening and energy optimisation. The kitchens and restaurant were powered by solar energy generated by 1100sqm solar panels on the roof, with one third of the space being green space. It is also the only pavilion that offered a public space in the Shanghai expo 2010. 45
Tate Modern in London is a one of the representative works by Herzog & de Meuron in art museum conception and creation. The former Bankside Power Station was reinvented, and the industrial style has transformed the gallery into a world class and one of a kind space. The main entrance leads way to the Turbine Hall, five storeys tall and 3,400 square meters, which lies between two wings and is used to house the electricity generators of the old power station. The extravagantly huge exhibition room features dramatic lighting due to the tall vertical windows, providing a special ambience for admission free exhibitions of specially-commissioned contemporary art pieces. Exhibitions like the Weather Project (2004) by Ă“lafur ElĂasson made use of the windows to resample sunlight within the room. The venue was transformed into a large outdoor ground where visitors lied on the floor for a tan. The tanks on level 0 reclaim the use of oil tanks for artwork displays.
Hongkongers will finally own a visual culture museum of our own, the M+ building scheduled for completion in 2017. Herzog & de Meuron, the winning firm, which was also assigned the Police Station Compound in 2006. Please come back to our website for a more detailed report of the M+ project as well as a feature interview.

In the architectural dictionary, this meaning of this word is very different. It refers to an objective evaluation of relative significance, not a subjective one. Emotion or personal preference is in fact irrelevant. Let’s see: if art is the expression of freedom of thought, then the logical constraints imposed by architecture must offer us something else. But what exactly? Perhaps the compromise lies in its more practical qualities such as accessibility, safety, and regulation. However, despite architecture’s black and white persona, the ability to imagine is an essential quality. It is required to invent and resolve problems in a flexible and creative manner. REVEAL: HKIA at ArtisTree is an exhibition which reveals the inner artistic and creative talent of architects beyond their profession. The event also aims to let the public get a perspective of how their profession has positively contributed to our city. Revealed are more than one hundred pieces of work presented in different media by 80 individuals or groups. The artworks are displayed in seven chambers: Look Deeply, Transform, Explore, Discover, Express, Inspire and Think. 7-27th December (11am to 8pm) Artistree, 1/F Cornwall House, TaiKoo Place, Island East All Concurrent events are open to the public on a first-come-first-serve basis, from workshops, talks, and sharing sessions to performances and presentations. Visit www.hkia.net/reveal for further information Here we have sampled five different forms of work: from poem, to painting, digital art to installation and time.
Amy Chan, a poet and architect, has a deep fond of text. She is involved with words from book writing to composing lyrics for songs. Besides that, she is also keen on helping the world through her profession. She, along with other architects, founded a charitable organization to construct schools with better designs in third world countries. In these regions, school attendance remains low due to the lack of importance placed on studying. By providing a better learning environment, which also acts a community center, the organization aims to promote study. Part of the funding is reserved for hiring teachers in order to secure the school’s sustainability. We lose our focus in life when we are too dedicated to work. But when we go away to breathe the air of freedom we nevertheless end up on a return path. Travel lets us escape the daily shackles of life. We may travel through a song, a book or a photo, living the experience they create and filling ourselves with knowledge, without the experience of any physical travel. Send Amy a photo, she will write a poem for you. Start the journey at Look Deeply chamber Admiring the night view of Hong Kong, here she writes: Sing me a lullaby, When the night has gone dark. The city glows without a spark, When the stars lose their glory, People live in gloom and doom. Extract from Urban Stranger – City Derive (refer to P1 Poem for the poem full version)

Wong Kai Ming, painter and architect, was affected by the colours he saw in Stockholm. The unforgettable beauty urged him to start replicating the skyline of this great city in drawing. He returned again 4 years ago and aimed to capture the scenery using acrylic paints. Introducing new materials into his drawings, he had an epiphany. The texture of the medium on timber boards is firm and interesting. Blocks of colour were experimented using materials such as metal and leather to express the depth of luminosity and shade. Interestingly, he undertook a practice with similar challenges during his time spent at a London architectural firm. In the project he curated, details such as how people experience light and darkness at different times were highlighted. As an architect, his visual compass is three dimensional. Therefore, later he invented a type of lenticular painting that could change transitionally over different angles. In one painting, for example, the subtle changes in sky colours can be observed from dawn till night. “Rhapsody of a theme of colour�, Transform chamber, come and enjoy the colours.
Vincent Lai, digital artist and architect, was fascinated by the virtual world. “If a concrete building could be created here, the virtual dimension must be able to create an abstract world too,� He thought. At university, he received training in such programs as auto cad drawing, 3D rendering, marking the beginning of an unexpected and strange relationship with computers. The process of creation is interactive. It is initiated by inputting the image of an object or basically anything into the program and the computer does its job to distort and transform the item. Then, further commands are sent accordingly. Commands and responses are repeated a couple times until it is visually satisfying to the viewer. When they both compete with each other on the canvas, the end result can be very unexpected! Digital abstract art has the unique capacity to lead us into a new artistic dimension. Entering worlds far beyond the ordinary, light and colour is distorted to create beauty and evoke emotion. Although difficult to measure, the logical and technical application of the art is still there. It is conveyed in the energy and emotion of each work created. . Created using different software with help from the Photoshop painting feature, each work sparks the imagination. The meaning and subject remain unclear. It is this quality that allows the abstract architecture to exist without limits in the mind, but instead move beyond the limits of the mind. The computer is so powerful as a tool, yet it can also be the source of artistic inspiration. Be inspired, Vincent’s digital paintings are found in the Explore chamber and www.theAngelworld.net
WONG KAI MING AND HIS ARTWORKS
One of VINCENT LAI’S digital paintings
Mo Kar Him and Sarah Li, creative duo and architect graduates of CUHK, see a different sky from those of us in the urban landscape in which skyscrapers the impersonal structures form an artificial horizon. The world-renowned urban skyline of Hong Kong is prominent and instantly recognizable, continuing to mirror the city’s dominance in the global world of finance. But what is the cost of this unrelenting drive for continued economic development? Social and environmental imbalances are pervasive: polluted skies, poor air quality and spoiled waters just to name a few. Is there a better way to reimagine and interpret the delicate and necessary thread that connects the skyline with a more sustainable quality of life? What shape would this conversation take and, even more perplexing, how would Hong Kong’s population grasp such abstract ideas? The duo inverts our normal understanding of the boundaries and relationships between the earth and the skies above. What’s solid and what’s a void? The skyline plays tricks on our eyes. It actually outlines or creates a shape or figure by using an intricate array of suspended blue threads. Layers and soft flowing tips create intriguing points of contact with the horizon. What has happened to the Earth? Suddenly it is a void, creating an unsettling and
thought-provoking reaction for viewers. At shoulder height, visitors can now make physical contact with the abstract undulations they see in the horizon. This experience empowers viewers to re-tool and reshape what they see before their eyes. The void of earth is there for close examination. Change the skyline’s features, and the horizon becomes tangible! It’s all about rethinking and re-imagining. Get a closer look of the Skyline, Inspire Chamber

HOUR25 PRODUCTION is a group of adventurous individuals and architects whose insatiable appetite for expression can’t be contained in a 24 hour day. At 25:00 architects move into that sacred creative space that goes beyond the limitations of the work day, entering a sphere that exists outside of their architectural practice. The medium can be film, words, graphic design, artistic installations or more. HKU Architecture Papers is a spiral paper clock. But don’t be deceived by the simplicity. When this clock ticks every 8 minutes, that’s the cue to flip to the next spread. The structure of the book itself is challenging. The idea of time is, in fact, the structure of the book! The process and the making of architecture become material. Turn the pages and experience something beyond the mere physical. Unfolds the intrinsic relationships that exist between space (spiral topography), time (time code), and architecture (contents) - the spatial connector of the book is the spiral itself, a link to related projects which span the pages of space-time. A hyperlink indicator is your passport to more reading and aligns the specific angle of the step you should take. All links are made possible through the technology choices made in the creative process, lastly the dial on the left of a spread is coded to academic years and project scales in the same spread. Follow topographical time, and take your journey backward or forward all within different time-frames. Along of the book which records the five years’ work at university, some of their work realised at the day’s end are also exhibited in the Inspire Chamber. Dare to time-travel with these creative craving architects?
Historical buildings become detached from the present when they are no longer relevant to our lives. We just walk by them and see a reminder of the past. However, architecture from the past can find a bridge to the present if there’s an effort to revitalize a connection to the modern world. As time goes on, we’ll like see more movement in this direction. Here we review one of such successful projects known as the Hullett House. Guests of this boutique hotel have found it a retreat, an oasis within the busy landscape. But a few of them think it’s unpractical. Let’s take a closer look then.

Hullett House, the former Marine Police Headquarters built in colonial style, houses five restaurants and bars, a souvenir store and ten themed suites on the top level. The garden, courtyard and restaurants are popular venues for weddings and events today. The differences are described by exmariner Iain Ward in an interview with CNN: “It is very much as I remember it. But suddenly I go around the corner and can’t go where I used to go. Stepping out onto the same veranda, the same familiar door and find I have an audience of a quarter of a million people. Also, the Mariner’s Bar was originally the sergeant’s mess. It was dead rough in the old days for the old policemen. The cells are now the only rooms that haven’t changed their uses. Fifteen to twenty people would share a room, which was quite good accommodation for the time.” The spacious suites range from 880 to 940 sq ft in size, well justifying the price tag of US$600-800 per night. Interiors are designed to exhibit our colonial history and dynamic culture of “east meets west”.

Exploration doesn’t have to involve taking a journey that pushes you out of your comfort zone. There are many of us who crave adventure and fancy lifestyle. Why should you have to choose at all?
Explora combines both in a two-in-one experience by setting travelers up at three luxury lodges located in unexplored regions within South America: Patagonia, located at the southernmost point of the world, Atacama in the heart of the desert, and finally Rapa Nui landing on Easter Island. Each exotic area offers a diverse range of expeditions from trekking and climbing to biking and horseback riding, suitable for beginners or those seeking a more intense and physically demanding experience. If gazing at the heavens is your style, Atacama Desert is home to one of the clearest and most stunning star-filled night skies. And now, having recently launched the world’s largest observatory, the endless universe is suddenly within reachable distance. Ascending the Andes Mountains will take your breath away as you feast your eyes on surreal views of the desert and volcanoes. The world’s highest lake can be found at the volcano’s crater at an astonishing 19,423 feet. Further down to the south, arrive at the end of the known world and enter one of the least: Patagonia. But don’t let the untouched land with its mountains, glaciers, rivers and lakes fool you; far from desolate, it is home to many inhabitants. Immerse yourself completely in the spectacular and wild environment and let nature be your companion.
Only established 5 years ago, Explora has made its impact on the furthest island, Rapa Nui, whose civilization remains a mystery even today. Hundreds of standing Moai statues will be the best introduction to this isolated and barren land’s culture. To fully experience the Polynesian tradition, the Tapati festival cannot be missed. This hybrid event is a celebration of sport, carnival and culture. The next one will be held February 1-15, 2014. It’s certain to be the busiest time of the year, so book your ticket in advance. Explora accentuates an entire travel philosophy: the concept of luxury as essential. Unique architecture, great food and wine, breathtaking panoramas, excellent amenities and top quality spas. Adventure has never been as carefree and energizing. Get ready for a one of a kind travel experience.

The first generation of Unimog was developed after the Second World War and has a much longer heritage than the famous Mercedes G class. Unimogs are the unsung heroes responsible for building bridges and tunnels at rough terrain, saving lives in treacherous conditions, and are also used for military purposes. Apart from the gigantic wheels which give very high ground clearance, the flexible chassis and torque tube suspension allow the Unimog to be an extremely capable off-roader. If you are setting off for an adventurous road trip, consider travelling with the Amadillo Crawler. This extreme off-road caravan is based on the Unimog U4000. Despite its fierce, military-like appearance, its rear cabin is a cozy living space equipped with shower, kitchen, dining area and bunk bed. These features will turn any expedition into a comfortable holiday. Extreme Caravan Climbing into the front cabin, you will see a truck-like cabin with big steering wheels and chunky switches. The doors and windows are simple. There is no electric door lock or windows, but you will find a nice little fridge at the armrest to chill your drinks. The driving position is much higher than a truck and the viewing angle is very good. Good sight lines and tight turning circle help navigate through tight spaces. Acceleration, on the other hand, is not too exciting since the top speed is electronically limited to 100km/h. However,
driving on a bumpy dirt road will be a lot more comfortable and faster than on a SUV. The big wheels do a great job in smoothing out the ride, and there is one less worry about getting stuck in mud. On top of that, the air pressure of the tyres can be adjusted by the Central Tyre Inflation system to suit the road conditions. Explorers’ Dream Mobile In urban areas, the Unimog might appear to be a white elephant. It might be difficult to find a suitable parking space, but you won’t have to worry about wheel clamp. On the plus side, its sheer size and rumbling engine sound will get you more attention than driving a supercar. The Unimog is an amazing machine. Using it as an expedition vehicle, you will have full confidence in its capability and reliability.

A story is a story. Therefore factual truth shouldn’t really matter. No one should stop listening because they disagree, right? Thank goodness that no bears live in our city, otherwise there would likely be some of us mislead by the story behind “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. According to the bear attack survival kit, climbing up a tree won’t help at all if you’re being chased by a black bear. They are great climbers. On the other hand, playing dead works well for grizzly (brown) and polar bears. Just be aware they may look back to check if you move. Keep still! The best strategy, of course, is to avoid the encounter all together by making some noise. This isn’t the right time to be texting or wearing headphones. Instead, try singing, talking loud or carry a bell. More importantly, do not count on this animal to test your friendship skills. Choose something else less dangerous.
Good Afternoon, Mr. Bear” David Yarrow, an affiliate photographer of Getty Images, as well as Tusk, the conservation charity for Africa, travels around the world to many remote areas and has encountered many exotic wildlife species. He’s come face to face with Royal Bengal Tigers in India, polar bears in Canada, a cheetah in the Namib desert, and of course the brown bear in Katmai which could have taken his life. Every visitor of Katmai National Park is given a 30 minute safety drill upon arrival, which includes a warning not to travel alone through the woods. David dared to disobey. Here goes his last ditch: “As I turned a corner after a 20-minute walk through the woods, to my shock I was met with the sight of an approaching bear 80 yards away. It says little for my general sense of self-preservation that, after the initial shock, I instinctively raised my camera and took one picture – the lack of crispness hints at my fast heartbeat and sense of haste. I then did as the safety drill instructed and stood to one side talking loudly to the bear. He followed the one piece of instruction, stood to one side and started talking to it. “‘Good afternoon Mr. Bear’, were my exact words—repeated regularly and louder and louder with a pronounced elevation in each rendition.” Luckily the bear showed no interest in him and wandered off. This photo, along with another 86 monochrome images taken in some of the most inaccessible environments in the world, are collected in his new book Encounter. May his powerful images and narrative inspire you on your next journey.

Maybe not this time of year, but in summer it’s a fantastic place to dip in and splash water with the mermaids. Sheung Luk Stream in Sai Wan, Sai Kung East Country Park, is one of the largest streams in Hong Kong and features some beautiful waterfalls and pools along the stream.
Can you hear tick tack tick tack tick tack tick tack ‌? Mangrove Boardwalk in Wetland Park on the outskirts of Tin Shui Wai is the place where a large number of mudskippers reside.
CROCODILE CREEK
Hangman’s Tree The safest place to nest. Its many roots make the best covers for entrances. Right, but how do I enter?
Within built-up areas and village regions, the Register of Old and Valuable Trees has recorded some 500 species of larger size, rarity, aged 100 or above, historical and outstanding in form. To check the book of registered trees, go to http://ovt.lcsd.gov.hk/ovt One of the most widely seen trees, Ficus microcarpa, aka Chinese Banyan, grows many aerial roots near the main trunk. You can easily spot one in parks and busy districts too. Also look out for the stone wall trees.
Never Land Jungle Further into the heart of the jungle, a good 50 of them run down the slope and chase. Kam Shan Park, aka monkey hill, is a well-known kingdom of macaques, about 2000 of them in 2007.

Attention: The heavy fog almost blocked out our visibility. Tsing Yi is one of the largest anchoring spots for container barges. The high density of these vessels in Victoria Harbour is relatively rare compared to other harbours.
Skull Rock Watch out for Captain Hook. We better find a place to hide first. Po Pin Chau just off the East Dam, exhibits some extraordinary formations of hexagonal columnar joints. To learn more about the geographic site: www.geopark.gov.hk
Indian Camp The Indians are great fish catchers and also possess excellent canoeing skills. Tai O, a fishing town, refers to the fork where the river splits to the north and west on Lantau Island.
Editor’s note: I grew up in Stanley. Strangely, the place did not grow bigger as I did. Nevertheless, every day I made some new discovery of land from roof tops, from small routes to hidden bays and cliffs. At least three afternoons per week after class and after dinner, my best friend and I would go on an adventure in our surroundings. Sometimes we invited a friend to visit our discovered place, though most of them had been banned from entry. Sometimes we climbed from one place then further down until reaching downtown, and then took public transport back to school. The largest group we got together was the time we camped on the rooftop of our dormitory to watch stars and basically freeze ourselves. To be very honest with you, ever since I’ve become an adult, I do not bother taking a longer route to explore my neighborhood at all. I guess a place becomes so small when you always know where you are going. Everything becomes expectation, nothing new, no surprises. But if I am willing to, I know I can reenter my Neverland again. Let’s not wait till we grow too old to walk. Be adventurous again!
We are all documentarians of our own lives and our surroundings using the most personal ways to record, such as keeping a diary or storing a collection of special things and such. Facing the fast-changing Hong Kong cityscape, photographer Simon Wan has chosen a very objective method to document change. Every mountain he’s climbed in Hong Kong has been recorded through photographs at the north, east, south, and west, regardless of weather conditions, be it foggy or bright blue skies. Perhaps it is his way of protesting man-crafted photographs which do not truly reflect reality, and his own philosophy of admiring the beauty of beauty of a world in transition. Simon is a keen trekker. The wildlife often provides him the best meditation in this urbanised world. It’s there where many of his emotions and memories are stored. In 2003, he had a sudden urge to visit all the peaks in Hong Kong, so he climbed 148 in total and completed the monumental photography project titled “Post urbanization”. After a10 year interval, he has revisited these places again, and the journey is around 600 km in total to be completed in eighteen days. He will be challenged by the operation and mainly disconnected with urban life. Only the essentials will be allowed this time. The fine quality-obsessed photographer has chosen Holga as his recording media this time, saying “A sharp image is not that core of the subject, process is all that matters. The journey itself is already a stand alone piece of art, photographs are only by-product.” His act, in fact, gives us room to rethink our city.
