Hong Kong Design Institute

Established in 2007, the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) is a premier higher education institution specialising in design. It offers a diverse portfolio of programmes across four academic departments: Architecture, Interior and Product Design; Communication Design; Digital Media; and Fashion and Image Design. In addition, HKDI serves as a cultural hub that regularly hosts prominent exhibitions and events related to art, design, and culture.

The HKDI Campus, completed in 2010, was the winning design of an international architecture competition by French architect Thomas Coldefy. The building is a metaphor for creativity on the verge of blossoming. The White Sheet represents this project’s intentions: to unite and showcase HKDI’s multidisciplinary nature and multifaceted objectives. Clad in white silk-screened glass, the pristine and minimal volume of the 'aerial city' platform floats above four towers.

These four towers house workshops for the four departments, forming the soul of the Institute. The 'pillars of education' display their structure and vertical distribution. They reflect the diversity and specificity of the disciplines represented. The entire composition, created through the interpenetration of interlinked elements, defines the Institute as a timeless building and reveals its objectives of synergy, being a state-of-the-art school, publicity, and interactivity.
