Conceived as an exploration of the theoretical
concepts of the Kantian Sublime and the
Foucauldian Heterotopia the university is
superimposed on the excisiting city fabric of Hong
Kong. Is the city the new landscape to conquer?
The block poses the question of an interiour/
exteriour part of the city. Further explored by
the interiority of the block itself, the notion of a
Heterotopic space is maximized against and with
the terrible sublime. Translated to more familiar
concepts as place and space the theory becomes
tangable, with it, the project never resolves itself
clearly and keeps walking the fi ne line between
the two.
