P&T Group imagines Dreams of a City
Guided by the theme Dreams of a City, P&T Group will arrange a number of public sessions for Hong Kongers to learn more about how the consultancy has shaped the city over its 150-year history in April 2019. Sessions include a public forum, city walking tours and family workshops, showcasing P&T Group’s dedication to giving back to the community.
On 6, 13 and 21 April, P&T Group will host, in partnership with Walk-in Hong Kong, guided walking tours to introduce the stories behind signature building designs in Central and Western District. Taking in P&T Group-designed buildings such as Pedder Building, Jardine House, Exchange Square and LANDMARK, this tour will lead participants to discover the crucial role of P&T Group in the development of one of the world’s most important financial districts.
Following the walking tours on 6 and 21 April, P&T Group will host family workshops where participants will have the chance to envision the future of the city by building their own models on a large-scale map of Central Hong Kong. The walking tours on 6 and 13 April, meanwhile, will be followed by thought-provoking open discussions led by P&T architects on how to shape and design a city.
Design Folio showcases 150 years of P&T Group projects
As P&T Group’s 150th anniversary celebrations draw to a close, a bound, three-part, limited-edition folio will showcase the group’s most iconic design works over its 150-year history. The folio showcases P&T Group projects that will stir a sense of nostalgia, with images of hand-sketched drawings and the works themselves. Some of the older key buildings featured include Beaconsfield Arcade (Hong Kong), Peace Hotel (Shanghai) and Choi Hung Estate.
