Astounding Bird’s-Eye View of Hong Kong’s Colorful Urban Jungle
Photographer Andy Yeung has called Hong Kong home since birth, but it took a trip away to spark the idea for Urban Jungle, his captivating series that captures aerial views of the city’s jam-packed skyline. As he descended on the metropolis on a returning flight, he was struck by the staggering panorama of high-rises crammed up against one another. The bird’s-eye perspective seemed to illustrate how it feels to live in one of the world’s most densely populated environments. Hong Kong is, in fact, about as crowded as a city can get, with about 68,400 residents per square mile. (For comparison, consider that New York clocks in at a mere 4,500.) Necessarily, that means it’s stuffed with skyscrapers—it has more buildings taller than 500 feet than any other metropolis on earth, many of which Yeung photographed using a drone over the span of two months. Thanks MyModernMet.

Yeung considers himself a “landscape, architecture and travel” photographer, and the series seems to touch on each of these three separate passions. The dizzying images provide a distant and yet intimate survey of the international hot-spot, encapsulating its electric energy for foreign eyes. The buildings appear as a sort of man-made landscape, rising up from the ground like gem-toned geodes—and yet, the scale renders humans far too tiny to be seen, as if lost inside a wild labyrinth they’ve constructed themselves.
Urban Jungle offers a somber metaphor for a mega-city bursting at its seams. Yeung explains to 500px, “I hope this series can get people to think about the high-density living in one of the world’s richest cities…The message I’m trying to send is that HK is a great city, but lurking beneath the prosperity is a severe housing problem that depresses every dweller in this city living in horrid conditions.“

Portrait art by Xiao Hong - 肖红
Born in 1966 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.
The art of Xiao Hong is a journey to genetics and heredity’s relation to our appearance. Everybody’s face is an unread book, hiding a huge number of secrets. The artist tries to make us open our eyes to what should be the necessary basics in human relations, in order to push Humanity to the next level of evolution. Every face is a hidden treasure of forgotten roots, made of traditions of the past combined with reality fragments.

Scallop is Michael Graves’ last watch design for Projects
Dezeen Watch Store: the last watch created by influential Postmodern architect and designer Michael Graves for US brand Projects is finally available after three years of development.
Graves, who died in 2015 at the age of 80, originally designed Scallop in 2013, but its complicated dial engraving of curving symmetrical lines, which echo the scalloped edges of the face, proved challenging to produce.The engraving is created to echo the effect of a technique called guilloché, which is generally reserved for fine jewellery. For Scallop, the concentric pattern is made by overlaying the metal with a fine film and then using acid to dissolve the voids in the pattern, which are then removed. This creates an etching that is just 0.1 millimetres deep.“The Scallop watch has taken more than three years to come to market, due to technical challenges that had to be overcome in order to achieve its original design intent,” said Projects. Thanks DeZeen
