In planning since 2001, West Kowloon Cultural District is finally starting to take shape!
Build entirely on reclaimed land, this large open space is of vital importance to the further development of Hong Kong. Located on the Kowloon peninsula, WKCD will house various cultural venues of which some have already been opened and others are eagerly awaiting completion.
With Hong Kong’s tallest tower, International Commerce Center (designed by KPF) in the backdrop the 40 hectares park spans from bustling Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui till past Elements mall that incorporates the Airport Express stations and offers a good connection to Central on Hong Kong Island.
Major venues:
Xiqu Centre, entry point of the district was designed by Revery Architecture
West Kowloon Station was designed by Aedas / Andrew Bromberg.
West Kowloon Pavilion designed by New Office Works
Currently under construction:
M+ designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Farrells
Hong Kong Palace Museum by Rocco Design Architects
Lyric Theatre by UNStudio
Over the past years, I have been documenting the progress and will keep doing so till construction is completed.
