The Urban Screenplay project transformed the external spandrel mechanical louvers of Dorset House and PCCW Towers into a dynamic and engaging visual experience. Rather than concealing these functional elements, miriamandtom embraced them as a canvas for artistic expression.
The “screenplay” unfolds across the facades of the two towers, with a series of decorative screens that create a captivating interplay of light, color, and pattern. This “urban screen” draws inspiration from the vibrant energy of the city, with a design that blends elements of the existing architecture with the new commercial spaces below.
The result is a vibrant and harmonious tapestry that connects the old and new, creating a sense of visual continuity within the Taikoo Place development. The screens not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the towers but also provide an attractive backdrop for signage in the new food and beverage precinct.
The Urban Screenplay project exemplifies miriamandtom’s ability to reimagine functional elements as opportunities for artistic expression.
