The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Housing Authority:
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) is participating in the Urbanism and Architecture Exhibitions for Excellence titled "M3: Beyond Territories – Made. Make. Making" organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA). The roving exhibition showcases Hong Kong architects' achievements in urbanism and sustainable development over the past quarter of a century, and celebrates the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The exhibition has been held in Hangzhou, and will also be held in Beijing, New York and Hong Kong.
The HA's exhibit, "Housing for Millions", visualises existing public housing estates as a splendid collection according to their years of completion and flat numbers. Visitors walking around the timeline are invited to browse through the vibrant and eventful timeline of public housing development in Hong Kong, encompassing "History", "Design Transformation", "Quality Living" and "Innovations and Technologies". The exhibit not only celebrates the past achievements of the HA, but also explores better housing design for tomorrow.
An HA spokesman said that the HA has been established for almost 50 years. Driven all along by the core values of Caring, Customer-focused, Creative and Committed, the HA is devoted to providing affordable quality housing for families in need. The HA thanks the HKIA for organising the exhibition and for inviting the HA to participate, which provides the HA with the opportunity to introduce the design concept of public housing estates to Mainland and overseas cities.
The "M3: Beyond Territories – Made. Make. Making" roving exhibition will be held in Hong Kong from December 9 to January 4 next year. For exhibition details, please visit www.facebook.com/M3beyond.
