I’m L.K. Chan, the architect and curator taking charge of the transformation project of Chinachem Group’s fossil garden. Just call me Q because the pronunciation is similar to my given name “Kiu” in Chinese.
One of the distinctive features of Nina Tower is probably its sizeable collection of over 100 wood fossils owned by the late Chinachem chairwoman Nina Wang and showcased on the podium of the building. Regrettably these ancient relics, unlike dinosaur fossils, have not been given the attention they deserve due to their association with dull and old-fashioned impressions. For this reason, Chinachem Group has decided to transform the fossil garden into a new edutainment destination highlighting the meeting of art and science to enrich cultural life for people of all ages, at both community and citywide levels.
