| Abstract | Is a sterile hybrid, Bauhinia Blakeana, named after an ex-governor with leaves shaped like a camel's foot, producing a bisexual magenta flower, really the right design for the Territory's post colonial identity? According to Dennis Felix of Pentagram Design Limited, a design is something that, "provides representation and identity for a service or product." So how does the bauhinia fare as a symbol for Hong Kong? |
