Newest addition to the Hong Kong skyline – the Grand Resource. A New York native, the Grand Resource is a scaled model/installation that rethinks the future of large-scale urban infrastructure by examining how a strategic insertion of renewable energy systems within the existing urban fabric can simultaneously generate clean power for the city, provide programs and spaces for social activity within the community, and attract tourists from other parts of the city, the country and abroad.
