The annual track cycling tournament showcases elite-level competition in a number of races around the world. From 8-10 March, Hong Kong hosted one of the events in the series for the first time at its 3,000-seat velodrome in Tseung Kwan O.
Spread over 65-storeys, the development is comprised of short-stay hotel accommodations, serviced residences and boutique office spaces.
The $20 billion development has been built to link the three cities of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau together for the first time. The scale and ambition of the project is truly unique, as the 55-kilometre (34 mi) bridge–tunnel system includes a series of three cable-stayed bridges, an undersea tunnel and four artificial islands.
BCI Equinox is an intimate event for architects, interior designers and design specifiers to connect with product suppliers and manufacturers over drinks and canapés.
The town, situated in Hong Kong’s New Territories, has grown from less than 10,000 residents in 1982 to over 400,000 today. To meet the demands of its constantly increasing population and its growing tourism trade, a large number of multi-storey car parks was required for all the new offices, attractions, residential complexes and community facilities.
30 sites across the island will be upgraded, with the work being divided into multiple phases of five to six car parks each. Flowcrete Asia’s specialist Deckshield range has been specified for the first three phases, which consists of 16 separate car parks.
Architecture can be described as an expression of cultural principles that have been manifested in a deliberate design, often using technological advancements pertinent to the time of the build. This is why the design of buildings appear to get more creative as technology advances, and why historic architecture is held in such high regard due to the sheer skill needed in the absence of these technologies.

This emphasis on longevity is illustrated by the Bugis+ (originally Iluma) shopping centre, which is in the heart of Singapore’s Civic and Cultural District. Being so centrally located, the mall’s designers knew that it would have to be fit for purpose for many years after construction, as there would be limited space for it to grow into.
