Bloomberg Lecture: COLLECTIVE
Bloomberg Lecture: COLLECTIVE - In Conversation with SKY YUTAKA

Talk by Hong Kong-based architecture and design studio COLLECTIVE.

Architect Betty Ng discusses forming COLLECTIVE in response to the range and depth of Hong Kong's art ecology, where opportunities to build sites that give credence to a burgeoning set of art practices continue to grow. She will also present their current work-in-progress as the selected architects for AAA's Open Platform 2016 booth commission. Ng is joined in conversation by SKY YUTAKA, the coordinating architects of the Open Platform 2015 booth and as part of the 2015 Hong Kong and Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture curatorial team.
