Last month,
I visited The Jockey Club Innovation Tower in Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I was so existed before I visit it. There is not much creative and irregular building
in Hong Kong.
When I
stepped into the tower, I was disappointed.
Seems I visited similar building in the HK summer trip! The concept of the interior design is definitely
same as the Guangzhou Opera House! OMG! The interior of the Innovation Tower is totally
white. There are lots curve shapes and
they make same mistake as the Guangzhou Opera House. The workmanship is poor. The corner and joinery are slightly better
than Guangzhou Opera House. They are very
close anyway...
I walked
around the whole building. Everywhere is
pure white, pure white and pure white. It’s
so boring. I didn’t see any design. I only see pure white walls around me. There were around 30 floor levels. Seems everywhere looks the same and I was getting
lost. For those areas without windows, they
look like hospital with a bit terrible.
There
are still advantages of the design. I
appreciate the staircase at the void area.
They are irregular staircases.
Some staircase pass one floor, some pass two floors and some pass half
floor. It makes me lose, but I love to lose
under the sunshine (There was sunshine through
the ceiling glaze) and the void area can see different floors of the
building. Feel so funny.
This
building is occupied by students from design department of The Hong Kong
Polytechnic University. I look forward the
university to hold a competition to decorate the interior of the tower to show
the unique character and innovative of students.
