My PRD Story 我的珠三角故事
2005
MAP Office is a research think tank based in Hong Kong, led by Laurent Gutierrez and Valérie Portefaix. For over a decade, the architect/artist duo has explored the rapid changes taking place in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), a region of intense development and industrialisation. MAP Office critically approaches the PRD as an interface of local and global forces such as cultural identity and massive urbanisation, documenting how these transformations affect people and space. They use multiple methods, including maps, drawings, photographs, videos, writings, and performances, to record and communicate information. My PRD Stories gathers a number of projects MAP Office undertook between 2001 and 2005 and shown as an installation at the Second Guangzhou Triennial in 2005. Produced in a limited edition, the ten pamphlets collect research interests and include raw documentary materials, some of which are developed into other projects at a later stage. The booklets demonstrate the office’s approach and recurring subjects of landscape, infrastructure, architecture, inhabitation, economics, and labour.
