In Search of Oblivons

As many modern high-rises were built, some historic buildings lying on urban edge, i.e. spread around the old parts of the city that were once unique colonial manifestations, have become oblivious and they have descended to signs of history. Their social positions, functions and stories have been weakened and forgotten gradually. After being consciously renovated by Cultural Affairs Bureau, these resurrected historic buildings not only keep their special historic interests but also provide new social space to the community at the same time, reinserting their status into the urban fabric.
