Hong Kong has its unique high-density city urban morphology. How to design it appropriately for more comfortable and enjoyable tropical living is the discourse of this lecture. Since SARS, based on the scientific principles of urban climatology, a number of changes to design and planning practice have already been implemented; they will be explained. In addition, the need for further innovation to cope with future challenges will be discussed.
Professor Edward Ngis an architect and Yao Ling Sun Professor of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He specializes in Green Building, Environmental and Sustainable Design, and Urban Climatology for City Planning. As an environmental consultant to the Hong Kong Government, he developed the performance-based daylight design practice note, the Air Ventilation Assessment Technical Guidelines and the Urban Climatic Maps for City Planning.
The new lecture course “Environmental Design for Liveable and Healthy Cities” is open to all CUHK students and staff – you may join in person at CYT 203 (am sessions) or Lee Shau Kee Architecture Building Zone F (pm sessions) or via Zoom.
