Recollection: Tao Ho - A Research, Exhibition, and Publication Project

"Recollection: Tao Ho" is a comprehensive exploration of the multi-disciplinary visions of Tao Ho (1936–2019), an architect whose influence resonates not only within Hong Kong but on a regional and international scale. Supported by Design Trust, the publication is the culmination of a seven-year research project drawing from previously unpublished archival materials newly released by Ho’s family. Trained among the pioneers of the Modern Architectural Movement, Ho’s practice extended far beyond conventional building design to encompass urban planning, graphic design, painting, and sculpture. By archiving his legacy as a true polymath, this research reframes Hong Kong's critical role in the adaptation of global architectural modernism, revealing how Ho masterfully synthesised international philosophy with local identity.
