The Architectural Services Department will launch the ARCHITOUR smartphone application tomorrow.
 
It provides an overview of the Government's buildings that have special architectural characteristics.
 
It highlights their design concepts, and architectural and spatial characteristics, as well as their environmental elements.
 
In its initial phase, the application will introduce eight government buildings under the themes 'Peaceful Soul' and 'Vibrant Waterfront'. Different themes of buildings will be rolled out in response to public views.
 
The application provides photos, videos, written descriptions and maps of the building projects.
 
The iPhone and Android versions are free from the iPhone App Store and Google Play.
