The making of the built environment, coupled with rapid urbanization is one of the most unsustainable processes worldwide. But it is where the most potential for positive impact can be made. Our school is based in The University of Hong Kong\u2019s Faculty of Architecture, utilizing its many labs and fabrication facilities while having extensive engagement with Chinese villages at the forefront of the urbanization process. Our sites are not only physical places but exemplify a transition between traditional and modern living. These alternative lifestyles and livelihoods offer clues to sustainable ways of living. As architects we will investigate how to adapt locally intelligent building practices, low-cost materials and cutting-edge fabrication techniques coupled with traditional know-how. Our exploration will take place at the intersection of local and global forces \u2013 with the belief that universal problems are best solved through site specific action.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-2-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1980x1320.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Sony Devabhaktuni and John Lin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thebuildingsociety.arch.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03_WHERE_credit-3-Sony-Devabhaktuni-and-John-Lin-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Sony Devabhaktuni and John Lin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where will we work?
