With no markings on the facade, anyone who lives in Hong Kong would recognise this as a school because of its very defined design pattern.
Renaissance College, Hong Kong (Chinese: 啓新書院, abbreviated: RCHK) is a private independent international school in Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, serving primary and secondary students [1].
The term “design patterns” is mostly attributed to Christopher Alexander, an Austrian born American architect who published a book called “A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction” [2] where it discusses visual language used in designs as common vocabulary.
The book has far-reaching implications as the same term is now used today to discuss software designs, as popularised by “The Gang of Four” in their book “Design Patterns” to discuss reusable object-oriented software engineering [3].
