The City in Architecure: Recent Works of Rocco Design Limited

The dense Asian city of Hong Kong has shaped and moulded Rocco Yim's views on architecure for more than 20 years. He sees architecture as being shaped by the city, rather than the reverse, a view that is fully expressed in his projects in the bustling Asian cities that are his specialty. His role as urban designer is that of a versatile, dynamic and incisive conceptual planner. This book features a selection of the early and later works of Rocco Yim, both built and unbuilt, and gives an unprecedented insight into the unique relationship this remarkable architect has with the city. Introductions by Professor Gary Hack of the University of Pennsylvania, and Professor Dennis Sharp analyse the contribution that Rocco Yim has made to contemporary architecture. An essay by Rocco Yim adds further insight.
