Tung Tau (II) Estate, completed 1981-1991, 2nd generation of the housing estate yet maintained a nice balance between the fully tower-based public residential design and community-based design. A central covered corridor runs through the estate, connecting a wet market with various scales of open spaces. A lot of warm grey mosaic tiles were used at the residential blocks that has in fact prevented future colourful-over-painting that sometimes kill the reading of the authentic form and neutralness of the architecture . 東頭（二）邨的灰色馬賽克讓建築的設計沒被近年受歡迎的油漆顏色遮蓋而轉移視線。從香港到烏克蘭， @osnovypublishing 以攝影和文字去烏克蘭的 #現代主義 、 #粗獷主義 和 #後現代主義 建築分析，其中最有趣的是如體育館的街市建築和低調的圖書館，這些都能看出當時烏克蘭在戰後為人民重新適應社區生活所定義的建築語言，也都是值得歷史記載的空間。反思香港戰後雖然發展迅速，有不少有代表意義的人文建築，但能得到重視的卻有多少？ . architecture in the #Modernism , #Brutalism , #PostModernism periods were internationally - not yet being recognised for their historical and cultural values. A lot of the heritage validation systems in the world define “heritage” as something with at least 100 years of history. However, we all know that everything in our world now are developing in a rate that grows exponentially. A whole era could be replaced within 50, or even 20 years. It’s time for us to study and appreciate the rapidly changing architecture and culture behind our “current” world. . check out the market halls and humble library, and a concrete rainbow monument.. more to share in stories . thanks @osnovypublishing for the beautiful book “Soviet Modernism.
