Michael Wolf: Architecture Of Density (the Outside Volume Of Hong Kong Inside/outside) Hardcover – December 17, 2014

by Michael Wolf (Author)
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 16 ratings
Stunning and sobering, the photographs of high-rise apartment buildings in Hong Kong by German photographer Michael Wolf reveal his personal fascination with life in mega-cities. Having lived there for several years, Wolf began to document Hong Kongs extreme development and complex urban dynamics, and how these factors play into the relationships between public and private space, anonymity and individuality, in one of the most densely populated cities on the planet. His close-up view takes the repetitive facades and colourful palettes out of their architectural context, instead offering urban patterns. With an introduction by Ernest Chui and essay by Natasha Egan.

These views of Hong Kong apartment buildings are stunning. Density is so high, it's hard to believe. He shot the pictures on overcast days, to increase the flatness of the buildings' facades. Amazing work.

Incredible photos. My only wish is that the book was larger as these photos deserve to be blown up as large as possible to see the incredible detail in them! For now i will have to bust out the magnifier :)

This is a beautiful, if slightly terrifying collection of photographs. Amazing work and excellent print quality, I can see myself revisiting this for a browse very often - highly recommended.
