Hong Kong is a city far more fascinating\u2014and with much more to teach the world\u2014than its popular image suggests. This more fascinating Hong Kong is not found in its dazzling skyscrapers that overlook old junk boats crossing Victoria Harbour, in its open-air dai pai dong where global financiers in bespoke suits eat lunch at plastic tables, or in the nostalgic images of neon-drenched streets in Kowloon side of Hong Kong. Rather, this city is found in places the world does not often look: in the extraordinary but unsung public infrastructures that make Hong Kong the singular urban miracle that it is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0\"Projecting Future Heritage: A Hong Kong Archive<\/a>\", Hong Kong\u2019s official exhibition at the Biennale Architettura 2025<\/a>, which opens today and will run until 23 November 2025, showcases these infrastructures that have shaped the city in the early postwar decades. The exhibition reveals how the city\u2019s often-overlooked architectural and urban achievements have for decades fulfilled the pressing mandates that cities around the world now face, like combatting climate change, managing extreme density, and maintaining a cultural life for citizens in shared public spaces. Responding the theme of the Biennale Architettura 2025, curated by Carlo Ratti, \u2018Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective\u2019, the Hong Kong exhibition\u2019s curators Fai Au, Ying Zhou, and Sunnie S.Y. Lau highlight the collective intelligens of Hong Kong\u2019s public infrastructures that represents the city\u2019s shifting paradigm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The 33 selected projects include composite buildings, estate centres, market complexes, and public housing\u2014structures designed by local architects that are little documented, studied, or shared internationally. Many of these, including vernacular villages, are on the brink of redevelopment or already closed down, making them the sole specimens of Hong Kong\u2019s future heritage.<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition will return to Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of 2026. More information will be released on the official website<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> pages in due course.<\/p>\r\n
