Why Study Architecture at CUHK?

To envision a more sustainable future, students will tackle problems that are multiple scale, multi-disciplinary and global in outlook. Our School of Architecture is a programme that is rooted within the Faculty of Social Science. Progressing through the programme, students work on projects that directly benefit local neighbourhoods, creating spaces that foster connections and interactions among community members. Students learn to incorporate cultural and physical contexts into their designs, ensuring that new structures respect and enhance local heritage and environment. And ultimately, the curriculum prepares students for leadership roles in the architectural field, equipping them with the skills needed to shape the built environment in innovative and impactful ways.

What We Do in the Programme?

Design is the central and defining subject of a school of architecture. Design Studio provides learning experiences where students are given the opportunity to think critically and innovatively. Supported by courses in humanities, technology and professional practice, students undertake their learning through a series of design explorations that allow the study of architecture at different levels of complexity and articulation. These hand-on experiences allow students to develop the design, technical, visual and digital skills necessary to engage in a rich process that can directly benefit local and global communities.
