“Architecture is a mindset not a profession”- Le Corbusier The only architect who was given a state funeral, and who had no less than 17 projects included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2016 In the last decade of the 20th century, architectural education moved to its highest

degree of conceptual abstraction and shape-making. Formal seduction and legitimacy however, are coming to an end and the next generation of architects will need to use and exploit digital technologies in a more significant manner. Building Information Modelling (BIM) will not be an end in itself but rather the tools, for those not within the inner circle of architecture, to understand complexity. The age of formal flexibility and responsible resilience in making and fabricating is on the horizon. Renovation and re-use will be a challenge, as well as a motto, for the 21st century. Now more than ever, economic intelligence, civic responsibility, and formal ingenuity must go hand in hand.

Architecture in the 21st century needs to be more responsible and more politically aware. Climate change is a real issue; and cannot just be a facilitator for a new form of business. Both urban and rural conditions must be considered as topics of study and spaces of action. The architects, landscape architects and planners of this century should, with the help of advances in technological proficiency, make equality and the collective the main axes of their practice. Only then can issue-based curricula be the sign of new educational innovation.

Hong Kong is a unique example of a city with multiple grounds, breathtaking geography, and an incredibly active maritime and port industry. One of the richest banking cities of the world, its infamous walled city in Kowloon once brought the world face to face with the meaning of density and poverty. Hong Kong still houses the ever-famous Chungking mansions; an exemplar of a hyper-mixed-use singular building, reminding us of the famous Manhattan Athletics Club, a much cheaper and horizontal form, or even of the African continent in an Asian metropolis.

Hong Kong is an urban question par excellence. It is an idea. It is a combination of enterprise and human caprice—a city that never sleeps and that is always ready for trade. The city is in need of innovative and thoughtful projects of diverse natures that capitalize on its latent energy. Hong Kong is in desperate need of projects that strategically rethink, question and debate its status quo.

Why HKU? Because we at the HKU Department of Architecture, Landscape and Urbanism attempt to lead the thinking and the making of new contemporary environments in a world of perpetual change and urgencies. The future will be sunny and warm. Climate change will continue to affect geopolitics and we know that architecture has always managed to find the most relevant ways to engage in our societies, as well as to provide the most appropriate shelters. If you are interested in architecture as knowledge and as a way of thinking of design; if you are interested in questioning your era critically; if you are passionate about a field of study and its practice; and lastly if you are interested in the advancement of our living environments through architecture, landscape and urbanism we wholeheartedly welcome you to the Department and Faculty of Architecture at HKU.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————The Bachelor of Arts in Landscape Studies BA(LS) program at the University

of Hong Kong equips students with a curriculum that emphasizes design, landscape technology, history and theory, and visual communications. We aim to give students a comprehensive grounding in the knowledge, concepts and skills, commonly required by landscape architects as they deal with complex community, ecological and developmental issues within diverse urban and natural environments.

The BA(LS) program is studio-based. This enables students to work directly with instructors on design projects and guided research studies that integrate both theoretical explorations and practical implementation. The design studio is integrated with concurrent theoretical and technical courses that reinforce the core knowledge of landscape architecture, and that broaden students’ perspectives across related disciplines.

The Landscape Studies program starts with an interdisciplinary view of the built environment, training students in critical observation skills and visual communication. In the second year, students experiment with making, scale, experiences, and materials, acquiring a foundational vocabulary in the phenomenological, material, and spatial aspects of landscape. The final two years take on more complexity as students are confronted with ecological, sociological, urban, and infrastructural aspects of the landscape within the design studio. They concurrently build their theoretical and technical competency to complement their studio work.

Students are exposed to a wide range of environments through site visits and field trips, and the Division actively collaborates with other leading landscape programs internationally, enabling students to engage their peers from around the world. Our Shanghai Semester offers students the opportunity to live and learn in an international setting, and to study the rich landscapes and urban environments in the Yangtze River Delta.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is an advanced degree in landscape

architecture that has been offered at The University of Hong Kong since 1993. The program prepares students with the fundamental design skills and disciplinary knowledge to engage in progressive practice and in the critical advancement of the discipline. The two-year curriculum leads to a professional degree in landscape architecture that is accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects. The program is distinguished by a commitment to teaching landscape architecture as an expanded field in which the core practices in the discipline are examined alongside emerging notions of territory, urbanism, and ecology.

The MLA program takes a critical approach to research and design. Subjects are organized into themed tracks which include design studio, history & theory, technology and sustainability, digital media and fabrication, and landscape and urban research methods. Each track moves from fundamental to advanced material, and students can pursue further specialization in related electives offered to final-year students. Courses draw on the environmental laboratory that is Hong Kong for an understanding of landscape architecture that is fundamentally urban; one in which issues of density and development necessitate socially and ecologically sustainable solutions. Teaching across the tracks is anchored in research, and most of the program’s instructors lead or collaborate on projects in a variety of topical clusters that make up HKUrbanLab, the Faculty’s new research arm.

Landscape design studios anchor each semester. These allow students to work closely with instructors in developing analysis-driven creative solutions to resolve complex problems—in a range of sites and scales. Foundation studios explore themes of landscape typology, dynamic processes, community, and public space. Advanced studios tackle themes of landscape infrastructure, urbanism, and ecological and hydrological planning. At all levels, instructors develop projects based within actual situations and involve key actors such as community leaders, NGO’s, environmental scientists, and government officials. As part of the second-semester overseas study trip, for example, MLA students travelled to Yangon, Myanmar to carry out field work within the community, and to participate in engagement exercises with the local urban planning department. In their final semester, students work one-on-one with instructors to produce a landscape design thesis that articulates their own critical position in the discipline, through an independent exploration of site, theory, and methodology.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Professional Accreditation

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The MLA program is accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects (HKILA). The HKILA has reciprocal membership rights with the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) and the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA).

DAHKU Prospectus MPhil and PhD Program 27

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Research Postgraduate — MPhil and PhD Program Research Postgraduate — MPhil and PhD Program Research Postgraduate — MPhil and PhD Program

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The PhD program in architecture is a four-year research degree (two-year MPhil degree + two-year dissertation) offering independent research under the supervision of members of staff in the areas of history and theory of architecture; urbanism and habitation; architectural and sustainable technologies; analysis and development of buildings; landscapes and regions; and urbanism with attention on high-density, compact cities, housing research and design methods, - all with a focus on social, cultural, economic, technological, ecological and infrastructural systems.

The program is intended for those who wish to enter teaching and advanced research careers in architecture, and make an original contribution to the field. It serves as an incubator for young researchers, and a platform to establish a robust, scholarly hub committed to an understanding of the planetary emergencies confronting architecture and cities. The program places an emphasis on originality, significance, and methodology in topics that engage pertinent issues in Asia and China, and the intersections of these with international and cross-cultural contexts.

Academic training opportunities are available and extend beyond coursework. On successful completion of their first year of coursework, students are encouraged to participate in the instructional activities of the department. These include teaching assistantships in the University Common Core courses and departmental lecture courses. The Department also runs a number of workshops on specific research topics and methods, ranging from archival research to grant writing. These workshops are led by distinguished visiting or HKU professors, and are designed to deepen students’ knowledge of particular methods and topics, and exposing them to different forms of intellectual inquiry and methodological frameworks.

Students are required to take four Graduate School core courses and four faculty/departmental courses before the submission of the dissertation. Students shall be required to have satisfactorily completed all the Graduate School courses and at least 50% of the remaining prescribed coursework by the end of the probationary period. For confirmation of PhD candidature or transferal from MPhil to PhD candidature, students must pass the qualifying examination, followed by the submission of their dissertation research proposal.

The Department’s CIB Student Chapter organizes international conferences at regular intervals. These events provide research postgraduate students with a forum to present their current research to the public, meet graduate students from other parts of the world and relevant faculty from outside HKU.

The Research Program is supported by regular organized visits by renowned international scholars from leading schools, including Ball State University, US; Columbia University, New York; DTU, Denmark; ETH, Zurich; UNSW, Australia; NUS, Singapore; Tsinghua University, Beijing; Tongji University, Shanghai; TUDelft, The Netherlands; and University of California, Berkeley.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Admission

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Eligibility for admission to the program is generally limited to students holding a Master of Architecture degree, a Bachelor of Architecture degree with honors, or a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in the field of architecture. However, students who hold a Master’s degree or equivalent in another field may also be considered for admission. All application regulations, deadlines and procedures are available at: www.gradsch.hku.hk.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Coupled with a robust network infrastructure and expert staff, the Department of Architecture provides a rich educational and research driven environment, allowing Architecture students to merge traditional craft-based construction with digital imaging and fabrication techniques.

The Department has created a comprehensive, state-of-the-art Fabrication Laboratory, through a combination of the traditional wood workshop with substantial computing and imaging facilities. The Fabrication Laboratory comprises a wood workshop and individual laboratories for laser cutting, rapid prototyping and CAD. It is open to all students enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture and provides a range of fabrication equipment including laser cutters, a CNC mill, 3D printers and a various traditional machinery. Trained technicians are on hand to offer advice and assistance, and moderate access to the equipment.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Wood Workshop

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Wood Workshop is equipped with standing machines and both hand and power tools for working in wood, in some plastics, and in soft non-ferrous metals.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Laser Cutting Laboratory

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The lab operates seven laser-cutting machines of various sizes and capabilities allowing students to cut or engrave patterns into materials such as paper, cardboard, MDF, and cast acrylic sheets up to 6mm in thickness.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Rapid Prototyping Laboratory

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Rapid Prototyping Laboratory houses a number of digitally driven additive and subtractive manufacturing systems including a 3-axis mill and a range of 3D printing machines.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————CAD Laboratory

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Shanghai Study Centre—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Shanghai Study Centre of the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong, was established in 2008. It is housed in the historical Post Office Building, on Suzhou Creek. The education of an architect, of landscape architects and real estate/surveying professionals is immersed in issues of globalization, and the Faculty of Architecture is fully cognizant of the importance for students at HKU of broadening their education beyond Hong Kong through an immersion in the issues and cultures of China. To address this, the Faculty of Architecture initiated and set up a program whereby every undergraduate in the Department of Architecture and the Division of Landscape Architecture is required to spend one semester of their studies at the Shanghai Study Centre, without interrupting their degree program at HKU. The primary motivation for the establishment of the Centre was to create a place devoted to the education and the dissemination of ideas in architecture, landscape, and urbanism, and to create a site for research, experimentation, speculation, and invention—where discourse and practice may be combined.

Shanghai is a cosmopolitan city with a global vision on a par with Hong Kong and the Centre’s location in Shanghai is ideal for the Faculty of Architecture. The city has some of China’s top universities, a number of which have been academic and research partners with HKU for many years. The Centre benefits both HKU and those partnering universities involved in joint teaching with the Faculty of Architecture, including Tongji University, Harvard, Princeton and Yale Universities, and The University of Pennsylvania. It also provides a common and convenient platform for future academic exchanges between Hong Kong and Mainland China and for overseas students pursuing studies in architecture, architectural conservation, construction management, landscape architecture, real estate, surveying, urban design and urban planning.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————The Kenneth Frampton Architectural Book Collection

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Department’s collection of books is primarily focused on architecture and urbanism, and has been assembled over the past half century by Kenneth Frampton, an internationally revered architectural historian and critic. Consisting of approximately 10,000 books, the library combines original architectural documentary material covering a wide range of geographical areas, as well as complementary critical studies and scholarly interpretations. A vital centre of architectural knowledge, the collection embodies the passion and dedication that sustained Prof. Frampton’s tireless pursuit of architectural ideas throughout his long career. In the spring of 2016, with a generous donation from a group of architects in Hong Kong and Mainland China, and the gracious consent of Prof. Frampton, the Department of Architecture (DoA) at HKU shipped the books from his apartment in New York to Hong Kong, where they will be placed as part of the permanent collection in the Department. The collection will be accessible to HKU teachers and students, visiting scholars and professionals and will serve as a cultural base for the DoA to build its archival collection and support a broad range of academic programs. With the installation of the Kenneth Frampton Architectural Book Collection, the DoA offers a rich source of knowledge, enabling a unique cultural exchange between HKU, the architectural community in Hong Kong, the Asian region and the world at large.
