‘Architecture of Density’

Urban anthropologist might find Michael Wolf’s photos interesting. He has amazing photographs of massive apartment buildings in Hong Kong, a very densely populated place. The photographs called ‘Architecture of Density’, give an idea about a-very- dense urban- lifestyle in Hong Kong. Wolf was born in Germany, grew up in the USA, and has lived in Hong Kong since 1994, and in these photographs he explores ‘the theme of the organic metropolis’. Here’s a quote from his website, a review by Rebecca Walker:

Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world and Wolf’s photographs seek out the human spirit in the urban jungle. The images in the book[he published the photos as a book] depict the highrises that shape the spatial experience of Hong Kong’s citizens. Since Wolf himself is one of those citizens (he has been a Hong Kong resident since 1994), his photographs have a distinctively personal essence.
