Kinesthetic Montage Hong Kong
Kinesthetic Montage Hong Kong explores the unique relationship between film, dense urban space and
movement in Hong Kong through the perspective of the perceiving human body in
motion. The outcomes contribute to a deep understanding of Hong Kong’s spatial
characteristics, and a broadening of approaches in architectural analysis and
design.
