DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 26TH GRADUATING CLASS!
The past year has been such a special time for all of us. While an unprecedented infection wave gripped our city, our students worked intensely and unrelentingly. After months of online teaching, we were able to conduct the final review face-to-face and presented the works in an exhibition. This allows us to see the full scope of our students’ achievements.
The last few months were a time to reflect on key questions in design education and practice: How should we approach the environment and the society? What is their inter-relationship? How shall we respond to that through design? Indeed, the pandemic has driven us to focus on what really matters under the new normal, and many of our students attempt to answer these questions through their works.
This is the first graduating class since our MArch programme revamp, which was initiated two years ago to reflect the growing importance of conducting research and reinventing our profession. After the revamp, the master programme is organised into two vertical studios, spanning over two terms.
Students started from a collective research before developing their individual thesis. In their projects, they responded to twelve research questions raised by our studio instructors, coming up with diverse findings and solutions. The final projects of their journey are presented in this book. It is not just a demonstration of our programme’s revamp, but also a display of our students’ holistic efforts in addressing some of the most pressing issues we face today.
As we move forward, we aim to continue our current direction while pushing new critical ways to explore digital technologies, engage with diverse cultures and locations, and search for new relationships between architecture and nature.
To all our graduates – we are so proud of your strong efforts and results. We wish you rewarding successes in your future endeavors.

FOREWORD
NOTHING MUST BE INVENTED
To the graduating Masters of Architecture class of 2022. Congratulations on achieving this important milestone in your education. You are now officially ready to embark on your professional career. I leave you with a story of a great architect I once met, not as a moral lesson but rather as a testament to the beauty of architecture.
Rien n’est a inventer! Je faut tout reinventer.1
Aphorisms communicate ideas concisely and succinctly, without explaining they force you to think. At first glance, they appear straightforward, but just like a good cup of coffee, they leave a lingering aftertaste that makes you ponder. Luigi Snozzi (1932 -2020) a Swiss architect, use to conceive architecture in terms of aphorisms. Inspired by Igor Stravinsky’s book “Poetics of Music”2 he developed a series of sayings, accompanied by a mnemonic photograph, that outline an attitude towards architecture, a way of thinking about architecture in terms of ethics and responsibility.
Reading these quotations, you immediately
understand how Snozzi elevates the status of architecture beyond the act of building towards a form of knowledge, what he calls “conoscenza”. Every aphorism is profoundly human, architecture for Snozzi relates to people, intending to share an idea, not a dictation. He typically presents his aphorisms in the form of handwritten projected notes, where the handwriting itself is an extension of the message. These notes (not instructions), do not represent a methodology, the dreaded word that seems to have invaded our profession, they are simply notations, questions, comments that stimulate a reaction and trigger your imagination.
When you build a road or a car park, do not forget that the driver is always human.
Just like this quote, Snozzi’s architecture is tough but at the same time ambiguous. There are paradoxical elements at play, uncanny relationships between his austere buildings and his abstract drawings. Drawings for Snozzi become bare minimum reductions, primordial architectural notations communicating the
bare elements. When you visit his built projects, superficially they resemble some of the works by Tadao Ando, they are both built with beton brut, play with the potential of light and utilise simple or platonic forms. However, Snozzi’s buildings are uncompromising, radical in that he will not abandon essential values based on a grammar of solid and void. He is an architect who studies the site, meticulously analysing the history and the evolution of a place.
I once met Snozzi, on a late December evening. We had dinner together and later went to a pub. It was one of his wishes to visit an authentic British pub, “your regular”. Architecture according to Snozzi has a moral consciousness, it is a political act, where architects have the responsibility to change society.
Now go and change the world.

PREFACE
THRIVING ON CHAOS
2022 is a year we discover a better self among the chaos and ruins, while 2021 was the year when we were compelled to adopt those changes. We are destinated to thrive among the challenges. This year might end up in a way that no one could expect, yet our master graduates from Class 2022 shine and thrive in the chaos.
“To create, one must first question everything.” As the graduates of CUHK School of Architecture, we question before we create. It might be a new normal for students this year to be questioning a lot of circumstances. Although we might be distracted by many other social circumstances during this year, like Eileen Gray has said. Still, we are very lucky to be able to pursue our answers by questioning everything. I wish all of you find your compass in the atlas.
This year, we are thrilled to introduce and honored to present a compilation of 68 ways of seeing from 12 studios, yet they are composed from a unified perspective of our master graduates struggling to rebuild the metropolis from chaos and ruins. We hope all of you will be luxuriated by the masterpieces!
“Atlas” - this year’s theme is taken as a metaphor that the architectural proposals incorporate imaginary ideas with realistic societal conditions. They also comprise a symbolic system in which thoughts are delivered through rigid boundaries and annotations, as the process of defining and interpreting is often involved during creations. As the first graduating class since our MArch programme revamp, 68 thesis projects born in this year will surely surf on the “Atlas” with confidence, visions, and with ambitious. It challenged different social conditions.
Last but not least, It’s my honor to be a part of the MArch graduation committee. As the president, I learn a lot from our committee members this year. I would like to pay my greatest respect to all of you. You all dedicated to pushing the possibilities and boundaries of what an architecture year show could be like. Thank you so much.

THEME
The 26th CUHK Master of Architecture Graduation Show, “Atlas”, presents a compilation of 68 ways of seeing, yet they are composed from an unified perspective of the graduates struggling to rebuild the metropolis from chaos and ruins.
Atlas is taken as a metaphor that the architectural proposals incorporate imaginary ideas with realistic societal conditions. They also comprise a symbolic system in which thoughts are delivered through rigid boundaries and annotations, as the process of defining and interpreting is always involved during creating. The show best exemplifies CUHK graduates’ versatility and experimentation on how they orient and express their visions regarding distinctive social dilemmas evolving rapidly in the place.
The 12 studios will showcase their unique standpoints, anticipating some astounding and unconventional ideas as the propositions to some unresolved controversies.
Find your feet and start afresh.

A CONVERSATION WITH WONG MUN SUMM
Mun Summ is the co-Founding Director of WOHA, an international awardwinning architectural practice based in Singapore. He is a Professor in Practice at the National University of Singapore at the Department of Architecture, School of Design & Environment. He sits on the Nominating Committee of the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize and other design advisory panels in Singapore. As coFounding Director, Mun Summ leads WOHA’s project teams in design execution and contract implementation of innovative private and institutional works.
26 What is your biggest challenge when implementing real estate design projects?
WONG I think what is challenging is how to bring people - whether they’re consultants, clients, or users - to your point of view, to the ideas that you want to innovate. Innovation is always new and may not be experienced. People tend to wonder and have doubts about it. I think the challenge is always about bringing people along with you so that your ideas can be realized. I think this is particularly daunting.
Facing climate change, we want to be very biocentric. We want to benefit nature, as much as we want to benefit human beings and vice versa. But most people only think about themselves… about having more value added to themselves, no matter if it’s monetary or not. We, as humans, have got a voice but nature has not. Humans have abused nature so much over the past centuries that it has impacted the human race itself. Climate change is a very good indication that we have exploited the earth’s resources too much. At the beginning of our career, when we realized that we needed to do something respecting nature, we found it hard to convince people. But it is easier now. I think the world has changed somewhat.

What is important is that you need to be able to bring people to your side. And when you do something that is innovative, different, inventive, and unique, be convincing.”

26 How could your design enhance the quality of the urban environment in Singapore?
WONG Our philosophy is to create a built environment that is biocentric and good for the city. Nature benefits us a lot. It provides ecosystem services such as regulating the air quality, producing oxygen, and sequestering carbon. Animals help us feel better as well. Seeing birds and creatures like otters makes Singapore a happier place.
We do need a certain distance. Sometimes it’s not good to be side by side with the wildlife. But we don’t infringe on their habitats, and they won’t infringe on ours. That is the respect we need for nature.
Our design has always been about how we humanize large buildings and keep the humanistic qualities in the city. If you look at a city, say Hong Kong, it’s so much nicer when you look at those skyscrapers across the sea from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island, or the other way round. You see the beautiful skyline. But when you’re in the middle of the city, you don’t know how tall it is. Buildings in Hong Kong are getting so tall…When you look up, it’s just not natural. At the end of the day, what you see in front of you is something that’s no more than 10-storey tall. This is where I think it is necessary to create a very humanistic quality that people can relate to, in terms of scale and texture. Even audio as well. But anything beyond that, it’s a city scale that can be quite sculptural. This goes back to the fact that when you see a city, you see it from far. We always notice these differences and design our buildings that respect the human experience along the streetscape, and also the city scale.
Landscaping contributes to the image-building of a city. In Singapore, “City in Nature” has now gone so far that people always recognize it. Our buildings are green and the city is very green. This also lowers temperatures in the city and reduces the urban heat island effect, and contributes to the ecosystem services I talked about because the amount of landscaping helps regulate the air quality. So there are a lot of things that our buildings do for the city as well as for the individuals.
26 What influenced your decision to study architecture?
WONG As far as I remember, I’ve wanted to be an architect from a very young age. I like looking at buildings. I also like nature. Somehow they seem to have come together in the things that we do in the office, where architecture is very integrated with landscaping and nature. So I think that has fulfilled the two interests that I had. I found a passion that fueled my career and profession. I can’t tell the difference between passion and work. If you want to embark on a career in architecture or city planning, I think it’s necessary for you to make it your passion. You need to be good at what you do so that you can be passionate about it.
26 Is there any advice you would like to give to our graduates in bringing their own academic philosophy into practice?
WONG The fact that you are in Hong Kong, a super high-density and high-rise environment, this is a very unique situation. It’s denser than Singapore, and buildings are taller as well. Another place that is that dense is probably New York, but this is such a unique proposition. I think you need to think of yourselves as being privileged and be able to create and craft your ideas around where you are, whether you want more nature in your built environment or not. Hong Kong is a wonderful place. I always get excited when I go there. I can feel the energy. I think you must envision a better future for the built environment and the people of Hong Kong, not just for tomorrow, but decades ahead, even a century later. Architects build things that last.
329328 ATLAS / 2022 dialogues
In the spirit of creating a better environment, I think it is about bringing nature closer to us and coexisting.”
“
Architects build things that last. So don’t just think about where you are today. Let’s design and build for future generations.”

A CONVERSATION WITH ALAN CHEUNG
Alan is as passionate for architecture and design as he is for dancing. Having spent years in New York and London serving renowned firms such as Rafael Viñoly and Benoy, Alan was shortlisted for the Young Architect Award by Hong Kong Institute of Architects in 2015 and has been awarded as“40 Under 40” in the Architecture category by Perspective in 2018. An ‘aestheticist’ at heart, Alan also co-founded A.Style Art & Furniture Store. What’s more, Alan loves enjoys chilling out with his clients as much as he loves furniture shopping.
26 Would you like to elaborate more on your architecture design philosophy?
ALAN Before we started One Bite Design Studio - that was around eight years ago - Sarah and I went to CUHK as architecture students. Upon graduation we worked in big architectural firms, in which all your work was very typical and practical. That was the moment we wanted to try something else, something different, especially when we encountered someone on a small project with an NGO or charity group. We found that we learnt a lot by working on those small projects. We engaged the “end-users”. That’s our core vision. We always emphasize on connecting people and making places, which means that everyone will enjoy them a lot.
our industry started to realize there is a cocreation-driven design methodology with the end-users. Recently, our situation is getting much better. Clients and different parties started to understand who we are, especially on how we engaged with the community.
26 When did you decide to study architecture? What was the story behind?
ALAN Before I enter the architecture school, Sarah and I always love to see skyscrapers. We always wonder how they are built. However, as we became students,
“
we found that architecture is so much more than a building.”
26 Is there any advice you would like to give to our graduates in bringing their own academic philosophy into practice? How would you suggest them to overcome failures?
ALAN You have to be determined when studying architecture. As an architect, we design spaces for people. So I suggest you to observe the conditions.
26 What is your biggest challenge when implementing real estate design projects? Are there any physical constraints or structural considerations you may share with us?
ALAN When we started One Bite, we tried to experiment with something else for the first few years. It was a bit challenging because the clients and government departments didn’t know who we were. But then people in
Once we involve the design with the “endusers”, we realise it is much more interesting and useful.
Then I started to focus on designing the whole town or designing a shop. But then something unexpected happened when I worked on a project. For example, when we involve other people, you can’t anticipate their reaction. You won’t know their comments or feedback. To me, this kind of interaction is truly amazing. I enjoy working with the community and engaging with people. It was very meaningful to me when I heard an interesting story or feedback.
Even a piece of stone can drive your design project into a very different trajectory. If you can’t avoid obstacles, I would suggest putting them aside. Keep trying something or pursuing something that you believe in, and things will work out.
331330 ATLAS / 2022 dialogues
It is important to connect with the community, to interact with these stakeholders because they’re eventually the “endusers”.”
“
Observe the factors that affect people’s behavior. Look at the animals that are found along the streets.”

A CONVERSATION WITH BETTY NG
Betty is the Founder and Managing Director at COLLECTIVE. She is a Registered Architect in the Netherlands, a RIBA Chartered Architect in the United Kingdom and an Associate member of the AIA, United States. Betty holds an M. Arch. Post Graduate Degree from Harvard University and a B. Arch. Professional Degree from Cornell University.
26 What is your biggest challenge when implementing real estate design projects? Are there any physical constraints or structural considerations you may share with us?
BETTY Each project has its own challenges during implementation, it is very hard for us to pin out particular challenges as it can be monetary, social, regulatory, design etc. To expand on how we deal with challenges in general, I think it is always related to one’s mentality.
We like to seek for various solutions for one question, focus on having an open mind to solve challenges not with generic solutions.”
We don’t take the statement “this is the way that it is being done usually” very seriously. We don’t believe in a cookie cutting formula for solving
design problem because every challenge deserves its own solution. We as architects also do not want to get too complacent and too comfortable, when one thinks one knows the answer, one gets too comfortable to find other ways to design and solve matters, and the results all become very similar.
26 What do you think of female architects’ career development in the architectural field?
BETTY First of all I have never considered myself as different being ‘female’ and most importantly being a ‘female architect’. I am aware of the difficulties as undoubtedly architecture is a very male dominant industry. There are of course many occasions that I am the minority in a room full of men.
26 Why did you study architecture?
BETTY Initially I wanted to be a doctor since I was a child. I was also very active in extra curricular activities when I was in secondary school participating in team sports and theatre. I was filled with curiosity and got myself involved in anything I am interested in. From a young age, I have always followed very honestly what I am curious about. I always thought I wanted to be a doctor until one day I came to CUHK’s architectural studio to visit an upperclassman Minerva Hui. What impressed me particularly was the fact that everyone had their own desk and you were basically equipped and asked to experiment based on your own desire,
26 Is there any advice you would like to give to our graduates in bringing their own academic philosophy into practice? How would you suggest them to overcome failures?
BETTY Overcoming failure is something rather painful for a lot of people but i tend to get over it very easily. I am always under the mentality to move forward.
26 Thank you!

“
Yet I have never been made aware that I am different and I do think confidence and also indifference are keys. ”
I consider so called failure just as a process of building up experiences and knowledge, and I have learned that evaluation is a very important part of such process.”
that freedom of seeking and absorbing knowledge led to my decision to study architecture.”

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the studio professors for their insightful feedbacks and immense knowledge, pushing us to explore the new identity and possibility in architectural design. We can’t thank them enough for their encouragement and support, as well as their constructive criticism. Their year-long guidance and mentoring will be cherished in our life-long personal development.
The graduation book would not have been completed without the help of many, and it is our pleasure to thank those who supported and assisted us in bringing the graduation book and the year show to realization. We appreciate all generous sponsors from various architectural practices that support us. We are particularly grateful to have Hong Kong Arts Center as our venue sponsor again. Above all, we want to offer our immense and unreserved thanks to all the staff and students who contributed to the composing of the work, and would like to thank our families and friends for supporting along all these years. Without their tremendous efforts, neither one would have been made possible.
We pay our respect to all the studio advisors for supervising us throughout the year-long project, with a special thanks to our graduation book advisors Professor Hendrik Tieben and Professor Peter Ferretto, the school’s administration team Ms. Irene Yuen and Ms. Tammy Kong. Without them none of these achievements would be realized.
