【Hong Kong Historical Architecture Series】Postcard__Schools

In Hong Kong, a place with scarce land and rapid urban development, few historical buildings manage to be preserved. Yet, looking back, the historical structures, whether lost to time or standing today, not only showcase a vibrant spectrum of architectural styles but also bear witness to the evolution of Hong Kong's social and economic fabric across different eras, reflecting the city's diversity in ethnicity, religion, and culture. Drawing from various historical records and images, Dr. Wong Tai-hoi meticulously recreates Hong Kong's historical architecture from different domains between 1841 and 1997. This pursuit serves to document the aesthetic charm of these architectural heritages while enriching our understanding of Hong Kong's societal evolution over more than a century with tangible details. 1.
