The University of Hong Kong Department of Architecture has shared its slate of Spring ‘24 programming to go along with our Get Lectured look at what’s happening at various architecture schools.

Lectures this term are organized under the theme 'The Good Life.' The school shares: "Increasingly scarce resources — from the biosphere to the economy — and extreme unbalances in their distribution call for action. The global model as we knew it requires some reconsideration if we are to prevent continuous meltdowns. If crises are opportunities to discern, and examine, what is The Good Life?"

Paolo Tombesi begins the series on Tuesday, January 23, with a look at the Sydney Opera House at 50. He will be followed on Tuesday, February 23, by a lecture from Bas Smets on microclimates and urban development. Harvard GSD professor Mark Lee follows Smets on February 29, preceding artist and television producer Christopher Roth on March 14.

March will continue with the lecture 'Cities as Sites of a Degrowth Transition' from Anna Gasco on Tuesday, March 19. Gasco’s presentation will then be followed by a dialogue with Sumayya Vally on March 26. That event precedes Mandana Bafghinia’s appearance on March 28, which is followed by Cornell AAP Director J. Meejin Yoon on April 9. Events conclude on Thursday, April 11, when M+ museum’s Chief Curator Doryun Chong stops by the Knowles Building to discuss their work at the two-year-old institution.

More information about the lectures can be found on the university’s website.
