Heights of concern
The concept note on Marisa Yiu and Eric Schuldenfrei's architecture design project, "Interstitial Landscapes", conjures up a Christopher Nolan-esque world. The duo, co-founders of the architecture firm Eskyiu, has imagined creating serviceable spaces in thin air - between Hong Kong's public housing towers. Building maneuverable cantilevered passageways between residential tower blocks opens up the possibility of an indeterminate number of new connected landscapes. Users of such a facility, if it existed in real life, would get a feel of the ground rising or the sky coming down dramatically around them, like in Nolan's films where multiple realms sometimes coexist in a single frame.
