ARTA's proposal for the façade design of the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong Science Museum creates distinctive expressions for the existing portion of each museum while harmoniously fusing both museums together. Pages of books symbolically represents the Museum of History's role in revealing page by page, chapter by chapter, the stories of Hong Kong's past, while the façade of the Science Museum is clad with tubular pipes as a conceptual representation of optic fibers to celebrate its importance as the medium for modern communication, and to represent the spirit of innovation.
