    Curated by Ar. Professor Paul Chu, Ar.

An Interactive display frame was specially designed and made for each set of the exhibits to co-create more collaborations while allowing visitors to explore the exhibition with invisible boundaries.

    The team hopes to illustrate that the unique urban landscape development of Hong Kong is combining various “in-between” elements, contrasting while integrating, consistent yet everchanging. Meanwhile, it allows experts and the public to reflect on the development direction of Hong Kong in order to meet future challenges in spatial planning.
