Hong Kong in Between

By Caroline Wüthrich and Géraldine Borio

Swiss architects and researchers G raldine Borio and Caroline W thrich have been living and working in Hong Kong since 2010, when they established their architectural firm, Parallel Lab, there. Since then, they've been fascinated by the micro-level of urban life in Hong Kong, and it's led to a major project: the pair investigated the ways the city's residents use the narrow lanes that run behind and between the city's high-rises, semi-public spaces that offer venues for business, social interaction, and a wide range of informal encounters. Hong Kong in Between presents the results of this exploration through a mix of black-and-white drawings, diagrams, plans, photographs, and texts that reveal the active, ever-changing life of these forgotten, in-between spaces. An enthusiastic engagement with urban life and a work of art in its own right, Hong Kong in Between reveals a city little seen and endlessly fascinating.
