The PAR building - the last remaining piece of Kai Tak Airport
would be established as an alternative kind of museum.
The unique and distinct visual system of the Precision Approach Radar inspires a structure that celebrates, records and displays the history of the site as an airport. Kai Tak, Hong Kong’s gateway to the world - embed in the social and physical fabric of the city.
The PAR enclosure becomes the key artefact of the museum.
Building the museum around the PAR means it can be preserved in its original state, in its original location, establishing the Museum as a direct link to the past. Other airport artefacts are then gathered around the shelter of the PAR, the power of the actual artefact telling the story. The canopy further acts as an instrument to elevate the visitors and orientate themselves to the past.
