the seven curioCITIES

1.
The Utopian/Dystopian Fold: Kowloon Walled City                                  
To walk the line between heaven and hell


   


2.
Filling in the Void: Emergence of New Social Behaviours                   
To frame the social, cultural and physical part of the city and in between leave it completed open for interpretation to fill it in, instead of constructing the physical city




3.
An Anomaly of Reality: Urban Imagery
The symbiosis between architecture, art, literature and film allows reality to be distorted and recreated, fracturing the usual relationship that individuals have with a place. The city is a rich intersection of possible worlds


   


4.
Out of the Box: Neglected Typologies                       
In these informal settlements lie history and untold stories about the underside of human values in a place



5.
Universal Modernization: Of Human Perception & Culture
The question of architecture to be generic due to global editing and modernization or should it be a reflection of a ‘place’




6.
City Double: Of Identity & Context
The thin line between innovating from the past and Copy + Paste




7.
Forward Compatibility: Post-mortem Urbanism      
Learning from the existing landscape is a way of being revolutionary
