Romanticizing a Vertical City: Architecture is the face of a city. And Hong Kong has the luxury of housing some of Zaha Hadid’s works — for instance, the famous Jockey Club Innovation Tower in PolyU, and the coming-in-2023 The Henderson. The HKDI exhibition Vertical Urbanism exposes Hong Kong to some of the architect’s iconic works in different corners of the world. Living in the prototype vertical city, you have every reason to see how it’s done the right way!

Dynamic and bold, Zaha Hadid’s firm’s selected works of tall buildings in the exhibition shake off the impression of urban densification and redefine ‘vertical city’ as modern, fluid and sustainable. HKDI Gallery now welcomes you to join virtually, touring the world through Hadid’s works in the comfort of your home.

Where? HKDI Gallery, Hong Kong Design Institute, 3 King Ling Road, Tseung Kwan O

When? January 19 to April 3, 2022
