Exhibition: 'Hong Kong’s Gastronomic Interiors'

Vertical Studio #VS_Montage - Hong Kong’s Gastronomic Interiors

Cuisine Typology as (data) Montages of Social-Spatial Settings

Hong Kong’s Gastronomic Interiors

The 2021 and 2022 VERTICAL STUDIO [VS] modules of the Environment and Interior Design Discipline focused on the multidimensional and multi-representational reality, in which narratives, information and perception collide and can collapse.

Centring attention on the theme of ‘Hong Kong Gastronomic Interiors’, the modules studied various Hong Kong kitchens [2021] and Hong Kong cuisine typologies [2022] in terms of their diverse gastronomy, society, and spatial realties.

The body of work harnesses geographic documentation, Lidar scanning with oblique spatial projections across 38 restaurant and kitchen surveys, archived on a newly formulated PolyU's Environment and Interior Design digital archive.
