Department of Architecture

The MPhil programme in Architecture offers independent research in architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism. It is intended for persons who wish to enter teaching and advanced research careers with a commitment to make an original contribution to the field. The programme places emphasis on originality, significance, and methodology in topics engaging pertinent issues in Asia and China, as well as important intersections with international and cross-cultural contexts. The Department houses a number of research centres associated with the HKUrbanLab, the research arm of HKU’s Faculty of Architecture, including the Centre of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism (CCAU), Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities Initiatives (AUHI), Rural Urban Lab, Fabrication and Material Technologies Lab, Urban Ecologies Design Lab, and Virtual Reality Lab of Urban Environments and Human Health.
