Author: Christian J. Lange
This title provides a comprehensive documentation & analysis of the largest Hong Kong housing estates built by private developers from the late 1960’s to the early 2000’s. The original drawings illustrate & compare the ultra-dense, mass-produced, repetitive built environments in which so many residents live. The publication & larger research project present a comprehensive analysis of the architectural & spatial realities of some of the most densely populated environments ever built.Drawings, diagrams and photographs not only display the immense scale of the housing estates within the city, but also present the hundreds of similarly planned housing units and their subtle differences. Detailed diagrams compare statistical information to show how the planning of these massive estates has evolved over the past decades to efficiently conform to building regulations.
