Love letter to Hong Kong corner buildings, Decembe Love letter to Hong Kong corner buildings, December 2024. "They are often considered examples of Streamline Moderne architecture—an early modern movement that emphasised curvy, aerodynamic forms—but the reality is that they were simply utilitarian structures designed to be built quickly and cheaply. "The form of these corner buildings was guided entirely by Hong Kong’s building codes. 'The curved building corner is not by design, but derived from the curved cantilevered balconies at the building’s corner,' says Lee, who is the director of the University of Hong Kong’s Architectural Conservation Programme. Hong Kong’s government had long encouraged the construction of balconies to improve the ventilation of Hong Kong’s flats. When a building was built at a street corner, the balconies simply followed the curve of the pedestrian footpath underneath. "The way the government encouraged the construction of these balconies was to exempt their floor area from the land premium that developers had to pay. This inadvertently became a subsidy to developers, because after gaining the balcony space for free, they included its square footage in the total area of the flats they sold. One of the first things many homeowners did after buying a flat was to enclose the balcony in order to create an extra room they could rent out to tenants. "Efforts to preserve Hong Kong’s remaining corner buildings are hamstrung by a heritage grading system that offers no protection to privately-held structures; their fate depends entirely on the whims of whoever owns them. https://zolimacitymag.com/hong-kong-modern-heritage-part-x-corner-buildings/
