Prof. GOUDSMIT, Inge (伊葛)

Inge Goudsmit is an Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where she teaches in the Master of Architecture and coordinates the final year design studio of the Undergraduate Bachelor of Social Science (Architectural Studies) programme, and the Urban Politics Studio.

Before joining CUHK, Inge practiced architecture for 18 years, and was an Associate at the Pritzker prize winning Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), where she led the design and expedition of many prestigious urban projects across multiple scales in all development phases in Asia and Europe, among them the Taipei Performing Arts Centre that was completed in 2022. In parallel, she taught at HKU and other institutions worldwide.

A registered architect in the Netherlands, Inge holds a master’s degree in Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences (with Honours) from the Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands, as well as a master’s in Urban Management (with Distinction) from the Department of Public Policy, City University of Hong Kong. Inge is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) within the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR).

Inge’s research interests are situated at the boundary between Architecture and Social Sciences, focusing on the influence of urban politics on the (social) production and appropriation of architecture. She concentrates her research on the social value in public cultural buildings and analyses their socio-spatial impact before, during and after the construction. Ongoing projects range from competitive research grants to design projects. At CUHK, Inge promotes bridging the gap between academia and practice to create an interdisciplinary understanding of the power relations in contemporary architecture and urbanism.
