Wendy W Fok, Steven Ma + Dominik Szerlec have just won 2nd place for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge․Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities International Design Ideas Competition Open Group. ‘Ephemeral Roof Exchange’ is an exquisite proposal that pulls from a range of cultural and environmental sources. In the end it seems to balance performance and what the group calls ‘physical qualities of elegance’ extremely well. A detailed project description from the architects is located below.

WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
What’s Your Problem is a “problems competition” open to architects, students, designers, engineers and other building professionals with problems to solve. The key difference is that instead of competing for design, you are competing for collaboration. We are looking for problems that are: not too grand in ambition (the more focused, the quicker we can help you), are design, fabrication or construction focused, and can be applied to an ongoing project. Show us your problem and the winners will win consulting time with our team of parametric modeling specialists in the New York office as well as a temporary license for Digital Project™. read more
