While the act of documentation, valuation, and conservation began systematically in the West in response to rapid urban transitions under modernity, it is only since the 2000s has historical buildings and their reuse began to play into the aspirations of the rapidly rising cities of the Global East. Selected old buildings in Hong Kong have been increasingly valued, both institutionally and to the layman audience, for their rarity in a predominantly demolition-driven urbanism, having come to be embraced as representing a local identity. This studio takes the opportunity to develop an architectural proposal for an archive of architecture and urbanism for Hong Kong, with emphasis on the set of 1950s to 1990s buildings that are overlooked and disappearing. The architectural type of the archive itself, emerging out of the paradigm shifts of modernity that has also shaped the school, the library, the museum, and along with the post office, the train station, and the other public infrastructures of a city, will be examined in the roles the form and function of the archive can play in a city like Hong Kong. Situated on a triangular site at the rotational axes between Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui, the neighborhood’s buildings facing ‘renewal’ compel a rethinking of the ways the archive can also interact with the neighborhood.
