bureaucracy: Open door to creativity, says top architect [HK]

When it comes to design, not many people in Hong Kong understand the 
difference between the good, the bad and the ugly, an internationally 
famed and award- winning architect said.

Rocco Yim, the Hong Kong architect behind Tamar's The Door creation, 
said because of this, there is little public pressure on the government 
to elevate its game in public buildings design through open competition, 
rather than relying on the problematic tendering process.

"Public architecture is the expression of a city's spirit, but 
administration people are deciding the face of Hong Kong," he said.
