“香港文化中心 Hong Kong Cultural Centre” / 香港文化建築夜之形 Hong Kong Cultural Architecture Night Forms / SML.20130426.6D.03214.BW
The Hong Kong Cultural Centre (Chinese: 香港文化中心) is a multipurpose performance facility in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of Hong Kong [1]. The concert hall inside houses an 8,000-pipe organ by Austrian firm Rieger Orgelbau and is the largest in Asia. I have had the pleasure of going to a few Bach Organ Concertos at the concert hall and let’s just say that the organ kicks some serious ass.
I did not use to like this building when it was first built. For some reasons, the architectures for government buildings often feature these very odd shade of pastels which look like toilets to me—mainly because perhaps the public toilets also use the same materials as they are easy to maintain and clean. But at night, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre truly shines—literally.
Since moving back to Hong Kong in 2012, I have been coming here for concerts and drama performances much more frequently than I used to, and in turn allows me to experience this building complex in new ways then before mainly perhaps because I also get to walk around it more often and finding more interesting perspective on this building.
