Abstract
Over the last five years, the Department of Architecture at Chinese University of Hong Kong has been conducting research on the provision and design of housing in China. The research has ranged from developing energy efficient design and elevator design to conducting post-occupancy evaluations of the results of past housing programmes. Recently, this body of research as been formally recognised and last year the department launched the Centre for Housing Innovations (CHI) to continue this research. The China Housing Prototype Design Project is one of the first projects under this newly formed centre and represents a unique collaboration among academics, practice, and government. Louise Liu reports on their progress.
