THE UNIQUENESS IN HK: State Theatre. Thank you for the exclusive arrangement by New World Development that Laurence Lai and I got chance to visit and sketch the rooftop of the State Theatre (皇都戲院)!

‘Since July 2015 New World Development has been progressively buying out the numerous shops on the ground floor of the former theatre, with a view of demolishing the building for redevelopment. In response Docomomo International has included the building on its 'Heritage in danger' list since 23 March 2016, in particular citing its unique "parabola-like" concrete arches above its roof.’- Wikipedia

多謝 Laurence Lai 嘅穿針引線及Dora 嘅導賞！同你地一齊食飯開心，了解到大家嘅奮鬥史同埋故事，相信我們的正能量會令到我哋走得更好更遠。

「皇都戲院是香港碩果僅存的舊式大戲院，既印證香港昔日娛樂事業的風華年代，也盛載市民的集體回憶，2017年獲評為一級歷史建築。2020年10月8日，新世界發展以47.76億元投得皇都戲院大廈全部業權，同時宣布，將為擁有68年歷史的前皇都戲院部分啟動保育計劃，復修、保留和重塑戲院古蹟的歷史面貌，包括天台俗稱「飛拱」的桁架建築。」－維基百科
