Just as the process of growing trees requires good soil, so the process of growing culture requires a strong foundation of collective memories of the city. Growing Up is a pavilion located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, which captures the everyday elements fundamental to Hong Kong, embedding and cultivating them within the fabric of a soon-to-be-major arts and cultural centre. A large sloped roof is supported by timber columns that, like the seedlings in the adjacent nursery park, grow from an intimate human scale to the harbour scale.
