Been in China for a minute. Although Hong Kong is considered a part of China now. It’s good to be back in Hong Kong.

My dude Andy Lee turned me on to the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture.

They counldn’t have picked a better place to hold the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture. It is being held at an old Central Booking Police Station Compound, right in the middle of “Central”. CBPS connects to the Victoria Jail which is also hosting exhibitions of the Biennale. Being able to walk through what looked liked 6×4 jail cells, and Central Booking rooms was pretty cool. There was an overall constraint vs freedom aspect to the show.. While looking at plans for new mega buildings, and ideas on how to network cities together you couldn’t help but be reminded of the total opposite constraint that people felt when the jail was occupied.
