WORK is pleased to present “Reconnecting Cultures: The Architecture of Rocco Design,” an exhibition of work by one of the most sensitive and progressive practices to emerge from the Far East.

Rocco Design Architects’ work is grounded in the belief that architecture is the embodiment of culture. Based in Hong Kong—where modern and traditional cultures co-exist, and values from diverging times and places converge and collide—the practice employs different aesthetic and architectural strategies to respond to disparate cultural and physical landscapes.

Through architectural models, photographs and drawings, Reconnecting Cultures explores how Rocco Design Architects gives formal expression to concepts that underpin contemporary culture in both a Chinese and global context: identity, spatiality, community, density, connectivity and materiality.

The exhibition celebrates the publication of Reconnecting Cultures: The Architecture of Rocco Design, a comprehensive survey of Rocco Design Architects’ work to date. To coincide with the exhibition, WORK has also produced a special edition of Paperwork journal and the tenth limited edition print in the WORK Edition Series, both available through PAPERWORK Bookshop.

WORK is an independent gallery and event space that presents a varied interdisciplinary programme collaborating closely with innovators in the fields of architecture, art and design.
