Public exhibition at the City Gallery, Hong Kong, from March 24 to May 16, 2018

Infrastructure Imagination showcases major infrastructure projects completed in Hong Kong between 1972 to 1988. Photographs featured in the exhibition are the work of Heather Coulson, a leading construction photographer who was commissioned to undertake many prestigious infrastructure projects in the period, including the Cross Harbour Tunnel, Mass Transit Railway, Castle Peak Power Station, Plover Cove Water Works, and other important public projects. The exhibition offers an excellent opportunity to reflect on what has been known as the golden age of construction in Hong Kong and to envision ways for building a sustainable future in the 21st century.

基建與想像展出香港1972至1988年間竣工的主要基建工程。展覽中的相片為香港知名工程攝影師Heather Coulson的作品。期間她獲委任承擔許多重要基建工程的攝影工作,包括紅磡海底隧道、地下鐵路、青山發電廠、船灣淡水湖以及其他重要公共工程。此展覽提供一個良好的機會去思考香港基建為人所知的黃金時代,以及設想如何建設21世紀可持續發展未來的途徑。
