The book was produced using a collaborative model of conception and production that involved contributions from faculty, students and staff from the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong. Initiated by Professor and head of the department, Nasrine Seraji (AA DIPL FRIBA), the publication was co-edited by Xiaoxuan Lu from the department’s division of landscape and Sony Devabhaktuni.
From Crisis to Crisis reflects Hong Kong’s ongoing transformation from a gateway between China and the world, to a regional hub opening up a new milieu for the cultural, economic, and intellectual resources of Asia. The HKU Department of Architecture is part of this ongoing transformation, attracting thinkers from Asia, North America, Australia and Europe to engage in critical, relevant dialogues. The publication reflects this diversity and is characterized by its flexibility, contingency, vitality, and open-endedness.
