Sponsored by the Department of Architecture (University of Hong Kong), The Lord Wilson Heritage Trust and the Center for Environmental Design Research and College of Environmental Design (University of Berkeley), together with the co-sponsorship of the Hong Kong Tourist Board and the Star Ferry, this year's biennial conference explores the tensions of borders and regions. Hong Kong has seen its share of these since the establishment of the colony by the British in 1842 up to the handover of sovereignty to China in 1997.
The conference brings together over 150 scholars from around the world who will explore the theme in the context of places and disciplines as diverse as 'Sustainable Development and Eco-Tourism in Afghanistan' to the 'Evolution of the Built Tradition in Tai O, Hong Kong'.
The conference will be opened by Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, at 8.45 am on 12th December at the Regal Kowloon Hotel and will continue until 15th December, when Professor David Lung, Head of the Department of Architecture (The University of Hong Kong) will close the conference at a farewell reception.
