Can Hong Kong’s Innovation Tower inspire the city’s architects?

In the thick of Hong Kong’s concrete jungle, surrounded by dense residential spaces and a web of roaring highways lies the Jockey Club Innovation Tower at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The building, which opened just over a year ago, is the new home for the university’s design students.

Although it is affiliated with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it has nothing to do with horse racing and everything to do with design.

Bold, ambitious and slanting to the future, this school hopes to shake up Hong Kong’s design industry and influence the shape of the city in the future as well.
