Ruin-scape: Illuminating the ruin in landscape

Ruins are not only an important part of history, they also reveal in spatial and evolution much about cultural landscape value and how we adjust in future. Ruin landscape is much more than objects, but a complex enterprise. The physical state of ruins recorded past structure and social relations. Historical landscape shares the quality of being almost impossible to recreate once lost. They record the development of human civilization and shape complex interactions of natural systems from pre-historical times to the current day.

Heritage disjunctions are both spatial and temporal. Heritage conservation has encouraged the process of de-territorialization that has time on the cultural landscape and eroded the sense of place. Hong Kong's heritage policy is cutting off the local population from the material of the past through the process of de-territorialization and displacement of archaeological space for tourism exploitation.
