商品簡介
The development of the Faculty has paralleled the vibrant growth of Hong Kong, especially following World War II when it became clear that a new generation of first-rate architects and other building professionals were needed if Hong Kong was to adequately house its burgeoning population and develop into a world-class city. Hong Kong's role as a global city has been fulfilled, and HKU Architecture graduates can take pride in having contributed significantly to the city’s dazzling skyline.
The history of the Faculty, Building the Dragon City: History of the Faculty of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong, makes it clear that the basic issues surrounding the education of building professionals have been vigorously debated for the last six decades and this has been reflected in the development of the Faculty.

As a consequence of our disciplinary expansion, teaching staff and student numbers have increased, and today we have nearly one thousand students and about fifty full-time academic staff. We take immense pride in the fact that the faculty is an integral part of the universily’s transformation into an internationally top-ranked research university.

Way back in March 2010, I initiated the idea of commemorating the 60th anniversary—an important milestone for the faculty—by publishing a book to acknowledge the contribution of our alumni and the development of the faculty. To this end, the faculty commissioned Mr. Christian Caryl to write a narrative on the development of the faculty, while Ms. Rebecca Lo was appointed to conduct the
research. At the time of writing this publication, Christian was Muse Magazine Critic-in-Residence and Visiting Associate Professor at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre of the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Ms. Poonam Datta of the Faculh’ of Architecture edited the text and put it together in a more readable form.
