Abstract
The eye-catching retail centre surely stands as the landmark of the Cyberport. Jerde, concept designer of the Arcade, explains how the design integrates culture, community, entertainment and retail corresponding to the revolutionary advances of technology.
(1) What was the design brief from the client? What kind of building were they looking for?
(2) What image does the design intend to reflect? How did the designer come up with the concept?
(3) What is the efficiency of the design in terms of the interior space available?
(4) The Arcade at Cyberport required complex construction methods and technologies which may have increased the cost. How would you judge the design in terms of the cost-effectiveness and practicability?
(5) Apart from the structure itself, what other means are being adopted to reinforce the Arcade's image inside and outside?
