Our focus is on fully engaging all future capacities for the existing Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts through newly proposed building(s), landscapes and urban connections.</p><p>Developing the framework for our design proposal has been at the forefront of our studio process for the past several weeks.&nbsp; We have begun by researching considerations for performance arts facilities leading us to a gradient of design parameters.

Three key areas have been addressed including program, site analysis and precedent identification.</p>
