BOOK DESCRIPTION
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
HOUR25 is the first volume of the HKU
Architecture Papers, a student-edited series of
annual publications chronicling the design work of
the Department of Architecture at the University
of Hong Kong during the academic year 20102011. With an emphasis on process, behaviour,
and phasing, the series provides a window into
architectural education in Hong Kong.
Core Editors Initiated and edited by a group of architecture
students at the University of Hong Kong, HOUR25
creates a platform for architectural discourse
through highlights of the year’s selected student
works, critical essays from professors, reviews of
academic programmes, interviews with visiting
lecturers, transcripts of public reviews, and a
chronicle of studio life at the Department of
Architecture.
CONCEPT
The 25th hour is a critical moment for architects:
the space beyond the daily routine of 24 hours.
It also exemplifies the struggle of architecture
students: lack of sleep due to endless studio work.
24 hours a day is simply not sufficient.
In response to overwhelming media saturation
in the architectural field, which tends the pursue
fashionable images but often suffers from a
poverty of content, HOUR25 actively engages
the readers’ critical thinking towards the built
environment locally and globally. Supported by the
Department of Architecture but initiated and edited
by students, HOUR25 is an authentic production of
the next generation of leaders in the field, and a
valuable commentary by the students themselves
to a year of vigorous engagement in architectural
discourse.
