Mapping Hk

Because of its singular history and geographic location, Hong Kong represents a unique synthesis of global city and local territory. The extreme character of its temporal and spatial conditions makes Hong Kong a moving platform of exchange within the Asian and world markets. In Mapping HK, the architects of Map Office treat Hong Kong as a test case for a critical experiment, in which the city is documented both visually and in text, as an attempt to understand the effects of speed and density on our urban environments.
