Always more than happy to dive into an art- / architecture- / design-related challenge, designing this nearly 300-page 17-year retrospective was my first appointment in HK.
UK>HK: Farrells Placemaking documents the trajectory of architects / masterplanners Terry Farrell & Partners (a.k.a. Farrells in the UK, and TFP in HK) 'from London to Hong Kong and beyond.'
Since winning the international design competition for Hong Kong's new Peak Tower in 1991, TFP has been prolific throughout HK and China, expanding its reach to include projects in Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East.
Published by MCCM in 2008, you can pick up the book online from Amazon or check your local bookstores and design/lifestyle shops... G.O.D. in Hong Kong definitely stocks it!
Snapped at Hong Kong International Airport:
A water fountain so smartly wrapped, it looks like an installation.
In fact, the tailored sleeve is there to prevent the unwitting spread of swine flu. Serve and protect with style!
The HK International Art Fair was on last weekend. Definitely time well spent. Here are a few mobile snaps...
Among the featured artists: Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Julian Opie, Keiichi Tanaami, Kusama Yayoi, and one of my new faves - Korean artist Lee Jae Hyo, whose signature works are massive sculptures of wood and stainless bolts.
A true icon of the digital age, Julian Opie's lenticular, pixelboard and "moving pictures" garnered more than a few double-takes. 
Anish Kapoor's Hex Hex (2008, stainless steel, 205 x 230.5 x 45 cm) - a mirrored concave of hexagons with the effect of an towering inverted fly's eye.
