Lee Theatre

Lee Theater was the landmark theater in the early history of Hong Kong theatrical history, as most of the important Cantonese Operas were performed there. When the rise of land cost is the equivalent of accumulation of gold in the 80s and 90s ... it goes without saying that the theater had to go：the beautiful theater was demolished and made way for shopping center. Unfortunately, as far as the shopping center design is concerned, any triangular piece of land is not a good use of space and on top the designer never appreciate how to articulate human scale and space penetration, if you go in and experience what is the architectural merit, other than escalator wells and the only tiny voids in the tower, it is an empty statement. Of course, the giving up the land at the triangular sector as a dedicated to public area helps the formation of the entrance, in return, the developer has taken the bonus of plot ratio as extra areas in the tower. I hope, sincerely hope and wishing developers in Hong Kong when they try to design building projects with historically importance, the new design and evolution of the new building must pay considerations of sentimental value and historical impacts. Time flies, before you know it, historical buildings in Hong Kong will be all demolished....¡
