Cities without Ground: A Hong Kong Guidebook
ISBN: 9781935935322 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hong Kong is a city without ground.

Perception of distance and time is distorted through compact networks of pedestrian infrastructure, public transport and natural topography in the urban landscape.Without a ground, there can be no figure either. In fact, Hong Kong lacks any of the traditional figure-ground relationships that shape urban space: axis, edge,...
