The Department of Architecture is committed to developing excellence through its
unique positioning in a region currently experiencing tremendous urban change.
We engage meaningfully with developments in China and East Asia to build knowledge
and encourage innovation.
The Department’s Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies (BAAS) program
establishes a solid foundation for our undergraduate students with a clear pedagogical
sequence that is rooted in questions of scale, materiality, locality, function, event,
structure, environment, history, and society. The first two years of the course focus on
architectural tectonics, forms and spaces. This leads gradually to an engagement with
issues of urbanism in the third-year, when students investigate the relationship between
architecture and the city — in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The final year capstone studio
project explores housing in high-density urban conditions.
The Master of Architecture (MArch) program is equally committed to addressing
key contemporary issues of architectural design and urbanism. Leading architects
and scholars invited from around the world work alongside our own faculty in examining
these topics. Our second-year MArch students complete their degree with a thesis
project. The theses offer opportunities to expand their independent and critical thinking
skills and to develop deeper, multidisciplinary perspectives on the process of design.
Our MPhil/PhD program is an integral part of our shared, cumulative approach to
the study of architecture and urbanism. We believe in a reciprocal relationship between
architectural research and design, and foster a series of interactive programs to forge
stronger ties between teaching and research, as well as design and knowledge exchange.
These programs include workshops, field studies, and different forms of community
engagement that bring together students and teachers from various degree programs
and disciplinary specialties.
We believe in the capacity of architecture to improve the human condition in
relationship to the natural environment. We are committed to developing potential within
our student body and faculty and to sharing our experiences in understanding advances
and ideas in architecture, and the betterment of cities, globally.

The Department of Architecture educates students in an active culture of service,
scholarship and innovation. Uniquely situated at the crossroads of China's rapid
development, and an unprecedented influx of global architectural interest and influence,
the Department takes the approach that design is best explored from a sophisticated
understanding of both. A multidisciplinary curriculum emphasizes ideas in technology,
history and culture, to foster a broad base of knowledge and skills for students in
managing the environmental, social, and aesthetic challenges of contemporary
architectural practice. Design workshops, international exchanges, and study travel offer
key opportunities for graduates of the Department of Architecture to develop the skills
needed to engage with, and lead, international and local communities of architects and
designers.
Design education in the Department of Architecture is based on the model of
studio learning. Students work in small groups, with tutors, on guided research and
design projects over the length of a full term. At the undergraduate level, the emphasis
is on drawing and traditional model-making as well as developing a mastery over the
software and technology currently used in the architectural profession. Students gain a
thorough understanding of the process of design from conception and representation to
presentation. The Studio, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, gives students
exposure to a cross-disciplinary integration of history, theory, technology and visual
communications in architecture.
At the graduate and postgraduate level, research programs offer students unique
opportunities to study contemporary issues in cities, landscape and architecture,
with particular reference to China and the Asia-Pacific region. Architectural history
and theory; sustainable technology; urban and rural construction; urbanization and
habitation; and digital design and fabrication form the base for our research agenda. The
research programs within the Department provide resources for students with focused
areas of study, on topics of growing importance to the region and the globe.
The Department offers students a variety of opportunities for international study
and travel. Design Studios go on study tours within the region to sites of particular
interest for architecture and urbanism in East Asia. Teaching and research programs are
organized at the Faculty of Architecture’s Shanghai Study Center for both undergraduate
and graduate students. This center offers students a unique opportunity to gain a
first-hand understanding of the context of China’s urban and rural environment. The
Department also hosts undergraduate academic exchange programs with leading
institutions in North America and Europe. Jointly-taught graduate level Studios with other
leading universities offer opportunities for students to engage with their peers globally.
The academic staff at the Department of Architecture includes scholars and
practicing professionals, both committed to the integration of scholarship and design
research. The Department has a strong commitment to the environment, and to engaging
communities in the South China region. Design Studios, design research projects, and
the Faculty of Architecture’s Community Projects Workshop see staff and students
participating in design projects in China and Hong Kong, ranging from the construction of
housing, school and public architecture to the building of pavilions in public spaces.
The Department of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong is committed to
building a leading learning and research platform, through the opportunities afforded
by the unique conditions in Hong Kong and China, and to addressing innovation and
sustainability for the world.

The Master of Architecture (MArch) is a two-year, full-time course leading to an
accredited professional degree in architecture: the first requirement for registration as an
architect.
The program confronts and engages students with the complexities of
contemporary architectural discourse, design and practice through a multidisciplinary
curriculum that emphasizes current design and production technologies; discourse on
the historical and theoretical culture of architecture; and questions about the inhered
global changes of environment.
The MArch program focuses on work in Design Studios. These are supported by
required core courses and elective seminars in complementary subjects within five major
categories: History and Theory; Urbanism and Habitation; Technology and Sustainability;
Digital Media and Design Computation; and Practice and Management.
The first-year foundation Studios introduce fundamental topics in architecture
and urbanism, addressing conceptual, methodological and constructional issues. In
the more advanced second-year Studios, students tackle increasingly complex design
problems, where design is approached as a form of research in the broader disciplinary
field of architecture and urban design. The Design Studios serve as a testing ground for
the skills and knowledge acquired in core courses and elective seminars. In the final
semester of the program, students focus on a self-directed design thesis, that they
formulate as a capstone of the MArch curriculum.
The teaching staff at the MArch program include full-time and visiting professors
from a diverse range of geographical backgrounds, and from both academia and
professional practice.
Through an expanding network of international institutional linkages, the MArch
program offers a variety of joint and sponsored Studios, a foreign exchange program and
other forms of collaborative teaching and learning. Opportunities are created for travel
and academic exchanges abroad; knowledge exchange in China and South East Asia;
direct contact to fabricators in industry; and experiential learning on real-world projects.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

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. Students are
provided with instruction, and with facilities for model-making and general fabrication
methods.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
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 (RPRO) 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
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The CAD Laboratory is the main room for teaching software. It hosts more than 50
computers, with roughly half the workstations equipped with Full HD displays. A third
of the computers are replaced each year and most of the software is purchased with
upgrade subscriptions. The CAD Laboratory is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
