HK BY H&deM
Right in the heart of Hong Kong, squeezed in
between buildings, the new cultural center Tai
Kwun (which means “grand station” in Chinese)
is like an oasis in the middle of the desert.
Refurbished by Swiss architects
Herzog and de Meuron from Basel,
it is a breathing space at the heart of
one of the world’s densest cities.
