Architectural Density in Hong Kong

With seven million people, Hong Kong is the 4th most densely populated places in the world. However, plain numbers never tell the full story. In his ‘Architecture of Density’ photo series, German photographer Michael Wolf explores the jaw-dropping urban landscapes of Hong Kong. He rids his photographs of any context, removing any sky or horizon line from the frame and flattening the space until it becomes a relentless abstraction of urban expansion, with no escape for the viewer’s eye. Infinite and haunting.

This terrifies me. 

I lived there for a while….it is nuts. I’m shocked it is only 4th densest, actually.

A fantastic project named “Bridge in Paris” by Paris-based architecture practiceAtelier Zündel Cristea (AZC) made as part of a competition. “Our intention is to invite its visitors and inhabitants to engage on a newer and more playful path across this same water. We propose, now, a distinctive urban feature: An inflatable bridge equipped with giant trampolines, dedicated to the joyful release from gravity as one bounces above the river”. It would be installed near the Bir-Hakeim Bridge with ring modules measuring 30m (100ft) fabricated in PVC membrane and filled with 3700 cubic meters of air.
