Nowadays in Hong Kong, the designs of buildings are changing rapidly with each passing day in order to fit today’s environment. For example, when designing fire protection for buildings, with special features like large atriums or deep basements, fire engineers must consider all-in-one fire safety design solutions, based on their professional knowledge and experience, that matches the aesthetics of the buildings. The fire safety designs of most buildings in the past were “designed in place”, that is, they were designed and installed in accordance with the prescribed codes of practice and there was less room to play with.
