Little Tai Hang architect Tommy Pao on what inspired his unusual design | Post Magazine

Image
Tommy Pao used Wind in the Willows-inspired characters to inject nostalgia into his new hotel-and-serviced-apartment complex that sees him begin his career with a bang By Oliver Giles 24 Aug 2017 Little Tai Hang consists of a glass skyscraper that rises out of a three- storey brick podium . Why did you design the building in two such distinct parts? “Little Tai Hang is a glass-and-aluminium building in a fairly old neighbourhood. I didn’t want the building to stick out like a sore thumb, so the upper tower portion is designed to maximise the views from the rooms, while the lower podium is about blending into the area and engaging with the community. “I drew from a lot of local vernacular to design the podium, which is [inspired by] mid-century architecture. Hong Kong still has a few mid- century buildings left – the YMCA building [on Bridges Street, in Sheung Wan], the Fringe Club and the Foreign Correspondents’ Club [in Central], and the Faculty of Medicine at Hong Kong Universit...

The Olympics Are Always A Disaster For Poor People

Image
RIO DE JANEIRO ― Seven years ago, Vila Autódromo was little more than a tranquil fishing village on the edge of Jacarepagua Lagoon, next to the racetrack for which it was named. Like the hundreds of other favelas that dot Rio de Janeiro ’s landscape, it had long been neglected by the city government , and it lacked many basic public services that are standard in the fast- growing wealthier neighborhoods just across the water. But to the more than 600 families that lived there, it was home. “This was a paradise,” said Luiz Cláudio Silva, who lived in Autódromo for more than 20 years. “I thought that I would live here for the rest of my life.” By the time the Rio Olympics are over, just 20 of the families who lived in Autódromo in 2009, the year the International Olympic Committee chose the city to host the games, will remain. The community, which sits less than a mile away from Rio’s Olympic Park, was crushed so that the city could build new access roads to connect Olympic venues . ...
