The definitive monograph of Hong Kong architect Rocco Yim, whose four-decade long career continues to shape the skyline of the city.
Bringing together 25 projects mostly within Hong Kong, including the high-profile East Kowloon Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong Palace Museum, this book showcases the work of the man single-handedly most responsible for the city's modern architectural form.
The selected projects have been chosen for the way in which they reflect the design principles and practices of the studio, but also because they highlight the particularities of the city, such as its dense, vertical and connected nature.
Growing up, studying and now practising in the city, his deep knowledge of its intricacies allows him to design buildings that make the city work better and improve the lives of those that live there, a principle which continues to drive him.
