Intencity

International Design Workshop

March 25 – April 2, 2015

Connecting Space, 2 Fort Street, North Point, Hong Kong

The 2015 International Design Workshop will approach the phenomenon of Intencity in an exemplary and experimental fashion from its specific disciplinary perspective. It focuses on Hong Kong, which is probably one of the modern world’s most densely built and most dynamic metropolises, a melting pot between East and West, tradition and modernity, art and commerce. Hong Kong’s unique history entered a new chapter in the autumn of 2014: watched by the whole world, the democracy movement, which is demanding “genuinely free” elections appropriate to the city’s special status, has meanwhile risen to undeniable prominence. http://blog.zhdk.ch/intencity/
