App Description

HONG KONG TYPOLOGY

AN ARCHITECTURAL CITY GUIDE

Find hidden architectural gems of the 20th century that other travel guides will never take you to.

Hong Kong Typology is a collection of building information which leads you to more than 40 buildings in Hong Kong, some of which will soon disappear.

The result of an academic research in eight cities, these original city apps for architects, building enthusiasts and travellers have been conceived by Christ & Gantenbein and their team at ETH Zurich. This inventory of metropolitan and essentially ubiquitous 20th century buildings exposes a systematic yet subjective compilation of urban architecture around the world. The result is a rich database of great practical value for students, lecturers and practitioners of architecture, comprising more than 350 buildings in all.

Seven more city guides are available on the AppStore: Athens, Buenos Aires, Delhi, New York, Paris, Rome, São Paulo.

Each Typology comes with:
- facts and figures
- contextual and historical insights
- floor plans and axonometric drawings
- recent photos
- map locator

App Features:
- Building Index
- Map of All Locations
- Favorite Building List

Find all content and more in the two “Typology” monographs published by Park Books.
