Hong Kong Frontier 2047 

Hong Kong Frontier 2047 is a proposal for the future border settlement between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. By 2047 after 50 years handover to China, the border between Hong Kong and China will no longer exist. This project questions what will the Hong Kong and Shenzhen border become after this reintegration process?

The project is not a resistance to the reintegration process but one that seeks to define the qualities of Hong Kong’s urbanism as an architectural memory, which stands apart from the Chinese city.

The project presents a close observation of local features of Hong Kong, their importance and explores how they might be translated into an architecture. This project develops a new typology of border zone development by capturing various urban moments of Hong Kong as a way of informing the future people of the rich diversity and unique culture identity of Hong Kong following the reunification.
