Taking Off

About the project
_“Taking Off” makes use of the elevation and linearity of the footbridge, and applies the image of an airplane runway to create the atmosphere of an airplane taking off. The elevated runway looks as if floating above the greeneries and poetically vanishes towards the sky behind. The setting is best experienced when viewing through the clear window from the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
