“央” / 香港理工大學與人流建築中文字形 Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HK PolyU) and Human Logistics Chinese Typographic Forms (ZhTypography) / SML.20130425.6D.02966

I dread it when people ask me what I photograph, because I don’t really photograph anything particular that is deemed interesting to normal humans.

 

This is Hong Chong Road (康莊道), a road next to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel (海底隧道) in Hung Hom (紅磡). Far in the background is Hotel ICON (唯港薈), which is the teaching and research hotel built for The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM 酒店及旅遊業管理學院) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) [1].

 

I photograph this because I like how the lines lead the eye through the frame. This is for my 中文字形 Chinese Typographic Forms series, where I find Chinese characters in a frame after noting that the concept of 形 Forms is not readily appreciated by the Chinese audience but they can relate to Chinese characters.

 

# SML Translate: 央

+ noun: center, middle.

+ verb: beg. (I know, Chinese is weird like that)
