　　Hong Kong’s Private Housing Estates
　　香港私人开发住宅地产
　　Throughout the 20th Century, in Hong Kong and around the world, the prefabrication of standardized architectural elements has enabled builders, governments and developers to increase the scale and pace of construction. This increase in construction efficiency was especially useful in times of need for social housing. During the influx of new residents to Hong Kong in waves throughout the mid-20th Century, new high-rise housing types were invented and built all over Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. New social housing needed to be built rapidly to safely accommodate thousands of new residents. The housing produced was tall, dense and standardized and built to house as many residents as possible as quickly as possible. Over the course of the following decades in Hong Kong, the strategies of mass standardization have shifted from social necessity to the pursuit of profit.
　　While the history and architecture of public housing has been well researched and documented, relatively little has been done to trace the evolution of Hong Kong’s private housing estates. It is quite remarkable that in most places in the world, when housing is left to the private sector, the results are diverse. When mass housing is left to the private sector in Hong Kong the architecture has proved to be highly formulaic.
　　The Cities of Repetition exhibition provides a comprehensive graphic documentation and analysis of the largest Hong Kong housing estates built by private developers from the late 1960’s through the early 2000’s. The original drawings and diagrams illustrate and compare the ultra dense, mass produced, highly repetitive built environments in which tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents live. Drawings and plans not only display the immense scale of the housing estates within the city, but also present the hundreds of similarly planned housing units and their subtle differences. Detailed diagrams compare statistical information to show how the planning of these massive estates has evolved over the past decades to efficiently conform to building regulations.
　　The exhibit and larger research project present a comprehensive analysis of the architectural and spatial realities of some of the most densely populated, urban environments ever built.
　　回顾20世纪的香港乃至整个世界，预制标准化的建筑构件让建设者、政府和开发商极大地提高了建设速度和规模。建设效率的提高对当时社会对住宅的需求而言尤为重要。在20世纪中叶四次香港移民潮中，高层住宅出现了，在香港、九龙和新界遍地开花。新的社会住宅需要快速、安全地建设，来满足数以千计的新移民的居住需要。它们高耸、密集、标准化建造，尽可能快地容纳更多的居民。而在接下来的几十年中，香港大规模标准化建设的目的从满足社会基本需求变成了对利润的追逐。
　　香港的公共住宅历史和建筑有很多相关的研究和记录，但私人开发住宅的演进轨迹却无人问津。值得注意的是，在世界上大部分地区，当住宅的开发落入私人的手中，结果是多种多样的。在香港，当大规模住宅建设由私人开发时，建筑却呈现出高度的程式化。
　　“重复城市——图解香港高密度私人开发住宅区”展览利用综合的图示和文件，分析了从二十世纪六十年代到2000年后香港最大的私人开发住宅区。这些建筑的原始图纸和图示充分展现了一个极端密集、大量制造、高度重复的居住环境，而数以万计的香港居民生活在这里。这些图纸、平面并不仅仅展示城市里住宅的巨大尺度，同时呈现了几百个相似的居住单元和他们之间微妙的不同。从尺寸详图提供的数据可以看出这些大量建设的住宅在过去的几十年里不断演进，不断地适应香港的设计规范。展览为此所作出的大量研究综合分析人口最为密集的城市环境中的建筑和空间的状况。
