polytechnic

it's high time i posted some pictures of my school.

hong kong polytechnic is a school about the size of the university of michigan, around 25,000 students.  the space it occupies is, of course, far, far smaller.  furthermore, if i had only one word to describe hkpu, it would be brick.  unrelenting, oversaturated brick.

brick, everywhere.  architect zaha hadid has designed a new building for hkpu --- for the design department, no less --- slated to be finished 2011.  it is not brick, mercifully.  it is, however, unfortunately, zaha hadid. 

here's the front.

the polytechnic logo.  how darling.

and finally, the most recently built building on campus, the tower.
