Story behind...

Among the 50+ structures visited with the Brutalism Hong Kong Research Group since 2020, the visit tothe “Unknown Chapel” (built in early 1970s) has been their most meditating journey ever. Due to theremote location and lack of infrastructure, the building complex as a vacational hostel plus a chapel hasbeen unused, and hence unaltered for many years. The carefully designed board-form concrete surfacesof the stairways were so well preserved and formed a beautiful depth and diagonal lines in theperspective, captured in a way that work together perfectly with the sunlight and shadows.

MUSE ARTIST

Kevin Mak

Kevin Mak is a Hong-Kong-based photographer documenting
architectural spaces for some of the most renowned architectural studios in the world. His aesthetics were built-up from being an urban photographer as @kingymak, practicing in OMA as an architect for over a decade, and contributing to the city heritage as an urban signboard conservationist @streetsignhk.

He believes that the enchanting power of contemporary urban life comes from the encounters of different diverse life-stories that are bound closely to specific spaces and places. In his eyes, photography, with both rational and emotional qualities, is the best way to capture and communicate such complex beauty.

Kevin's first series for MUSE came from an architectural research on unknown Hong Kong brutalist architecture led by architect Bob Pang. His photos played an important role in the 2 exhibitions and 3 publications of the award-winning research. His photo of the Eastern Sea Industrial Building also won a Dezeen Award as the Photograph of the Year in 2022.
