The Architecture of the City
Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre
9/12 (Sat) 8:15pm
Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron
Programme of "Architecture is Art Festvial 2017"
“One cannot make architecture without studying the condition of life in the city.” Aldo Rossi
“One can say that the city itself is the collective memory of its people and like memory it is associated with objects and places. The city is the locus of this collective memory”
Inspired by Italian architect Aldo Rossi’s book The Architecture of the City,
this performance revisits the seminal architecture theory from the 20th century
unearths the cultural locus of the urban city
and examines urban science.
Through images, music and the stage,
it poses a contrast with the present Hong Kong
exploring the experience of an alternative space.
