Did you ever wonder what happened to the Integer Project at the Tamar Site?

Do you even remember that it was there?
Were you ever sufficiently inquisitive to have actually visited the project?

The SKYLINE Team believes that it was well worth a visit. It was extremely thought provoking. The Integer Project stood for all that is good in the Architectural & Design fields. Bold innovative strides being made towards our challenging and ever changing future.

The big question is; why on earth did the integer project get shipped off to Beijing without a single developer in Hong Kong having the nerve to grasp the concepts and "have a go". This has NOT proved to be the case on the Mainland, there have been no reservations or lack of courage. See our special feature article below - INTEGER GOES LIVE. Is this another indication of just how staid and ultimately redundant Hong Kong could very easily become?

Hong Kong was once a brave leader amongst world cities. It's people were never scared to delve into the unknown and to take the lead. That is precisely what made Hong Kong into the city it is today. What does the future hold? Do we all believe the government and media hype that our economy, well being and future are once again on an upward curve? Let us know what you think <<click here>>
