This quirky crystal shaped building is to be the Creative Media Centre of Hong Kong City University. Designed by New York based architects, Studio Daniel Libeskind in collaboration with Hong Kong based Leigh & Orange Architects, this iconic building is set to create an inspiring environment for creativity both externally and internally with its use of an extraordinary range of spaces rich in form, light and material.
According to the architects, Studio Daniel Libeskind,
The internal spaces have been designed specifically to encourage collaboration through an openness and connectivity of activity area, as well as an exciting place for visitors, who will be welcomed to enjoy the facilities as part of an extended public outreach program of courses and events.
The 25,000 sqm building would include facilities like a multi-purpose theatre, sound stages labs, classrooms, cafes & restaurants and numerous exhibition spaces. Its exterior would feature a fully landscaped garden that would create a communal environment for students and the public.
Being Daniel Libeskind’s first Chinese project, it is stirring up quite a lot of controversy in the architectural community.
It’s expected completion date is in 2010.
