A book: Cities Without Ground: A Hong Kong Guidebook

A book. Cities Without Ground: A Hong Kong Guidebook edited by Jonathan Solomon, Clara Wong, Adam Frampton (published by ORO Editions) explores a city of Hong Kong known for being a global city, but, and more interestingly, a city without ground made up of unfathomable paths of pedestrian bridges, tunnels and walkways. As Spanish Metalocus wrote, “it is possible to walk all day without ever having to set foot on the ground.”

This book is in my wish-list. I warmly recommend to read Metalocus’s article on the book.

Many blogs and web magazines (here and here among the most interesting reviews) reviewed EDIT! Architecture’s Liantang-Heung Yuen Wai Passenger Terminal Building. Prague-based EDIT!Architecture proposed this design for the Liantang-Heung Yuen Wai Passenger Terminal Building Competition. Participants were asked to design a terminal building that will connect Hong Kong with Shenzhen City.
