Cities of Repetition
Oro Editions (Verlag)
978-1-939621-65-8 (ISBN)
Cities of Repetition provides a comprehensive graphic documentation and analysis of the largest Hong Kong housing estates built by private developers, from the late 1960s through to the early 2000s. Original drawings and diagrams illustrate and compare the ultra-dense, mass-produced, highly repetitive built environments in which hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong residents live. This book studies the practicalities of urban design in limited space, but also the effects of structure, routine, and replication on the human psyche. Its array of colour and black-and-white images will immerse the reader in Hong Kong's uniquely repetitive cityscape.
Jason F. Carlow and Christian J. Lange are architects and educators. As colleagues teaching housing studios together at the University of Hong Kong they developed a keen interest in housing, high density urbanism and the relationship between building code and architectural form. Carlow is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Architecture at American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Lange is Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, where he serves as Director of the Fabrication and Material Technologies Lab and leads the Robotic Fabrication Lab.
