Here we see David Liao, HSBC’s co-CEO for Asia and the Middle East, standing in front of just some of our heritage inspired graphics at HSBC’s new building HyQ Tower in Qianhai, Shenzhen.

The HyQ Tower, in the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, is the bank’s first wholly owned building in southern China and involved an investment of more than 4 billion yuan (US$550 million).

“The wrangling over the Parthenon (or Elgin) marbles displayed in the British Museum has been going on since 1817. This example of British appropriation of another nation’s material culture for (so the argument went) the sake of preservation was the removal of the sculptures and friezes from the Parthenon in Greece by Lord Elgin between 1801 and 1812. There was not universal agreement even amongst contemporary Britons about the validity of this supposed act of heritage conservation.

The American Club of Hong Kong has announced its teaser centennial exhibition at its Country Club in Tai Tam. This exhibition, created in conjunction with our design partner Sugar HK, showcases the Club’s Centennial story through contemporary storytelling. Members will have the opportunity to engage with the Club’s history and experience elements of American culture in Hong Kong over the past 100 years.

I have been an Interpretive Planner for museums around the world for over 30 years. When I started in 1992, the term was rarely used. Family and friends still ask: “What is it exactly that you do?” So I thought I would look back over my 30 years in museums, zoos, aquaria and heritage sites to pick out some of the favourite exhibits that I have worked on as a way of explaining the process of interpretive planning and what it is. Here we look at the site research that went into the development of immersive waiting experiences for the upgrade of The Peak Tram Hong Kong.
