The City Spiraling Upwards:On the Eastern Crowding Culture in The Making of Hong Kong:From Vertical to Volumetric
The book The Making of Hong Kong:From Vertical to Volumetric describes in detail the evolution of Hong Kong from a vertical city to a Volumetric city.In contrast,the paper focuses more on finding the urban form and architectural type of Hong Kong through the historical tracing of architectural forms,focusing on how the evolution process happened,comparing the Hong Kong described in this book with the Manhattan described by Koolhaas in Delirious New York,and referring to the differences between China and the West described in Fei Xiaotong's"From the Soil".This paper attempts to interpret the reasons why Hong Kong has become an Asian Culture of Congestion,and tries to find the law and logic of Hong Kong's urban development,so as to provide personal views for the future Chinese cities.
