"Frank Gehry. Architect" exhibition is organised by Swire Properties Limited, a leading developer of upscale commercial and residential properties in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Swire Properties also has major mixed-use projects currently under development in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Swire Properties’ existing China developments, The Opposite House hotel and Sanlitun Village, have become new landmarks in Beijing.
The exhibition marks the first opportunity for audiences in China to explore Gehry’s design. Frank Gehry says, “Our first building in China will be completed in 2012 in Hong Kong, and I am very excited at the prospect of sharing the evolution of this special development with the people of Beijing. I hope the exhibition will inspire visitors as well as offer them a greater insight into how we work,” said Gehry, who is the Design Architect for Swire Properties’ 53 Stubbs Road project in Hong Kong.
Martin Cubbon, Chief Executive of Swire Properties expresses,“We are delighted to be the first to bring the work of this celebrated architect to China”. Cubbon also believes that, “Frank Gehry is one of the most important and visionary architects of modern times and we are privileged to be able to collaborate with such a distinguished talent. Swire Properties is particularly pleased to be able to share our passion for inspirational design with the Beijing public through this exhibition, which demonstrates our commitment to bringing exciting and enriching events to Sanlitun Village.”
