“/||\” / 香港建造之形 Hong Kong Construction Forms / SML.20130424.6D.02643.BW

The one thing constant about the ever-changing urban landscape is the cranes at the construction sites.

 

I was born in Hong Kong, but I went to the US for college (university) in 1995, and after graduation I moved to New York and have been living there ever since. But in 2012, I moved back to Hong Kong to start my own company. And I definitely notice the change.

 

Most of the newer architecture in Hong Kong is built upon landfill, so in many ways the Victoria Harbour just got smaller. It seems that even the Star Ferry ride as a result is shorter. Could that possibly be?

 

Pictured is a set of cranes seen outside the International Finance Centre (IFC). It seems that they are building even more structures over there but exactly what is unclear.
