Product Description
King Y. Chung is, as his colleagues have described him, probably the best architectural model maker in Hong Kong. This is not simply a look at how models are made, but rather his personal story of a lifetime's work, which has closely tracked Hong Kong's rapid development over the last thirty-six years. This volume captures the breadth of Hong Kong's recent architectural development, including design prototypes and study and architectural models of Hong Kong's most iconic buildings, including HSBC Headquarters and the Hong Kong International Airport. At the time of this book's publication, King has completed 2,162 models.
Customer Reviews
This is a unique story of a man, a city and an art form, all inexorably woven together. It is as much the history of a city, Hong Kong, as the life of the author. It is a story mostly told through photographs, photographs of incredible models of landmarks mainly in Hong Kong. As the book unfolds so does Hong Kong. You are at once awed by the talent of the author and the majesty of the city. It is a tribute to one man's passion and dedication to a unique art form and craft.
