Dear DocomomoHK Members and Friends,

Drawing on the Luke Him Sau Architectural Collection at the HKU Libraries, the exhibition revisits Luke’s post-war architectural work through questions of climate, comfort, modern heritage, and architectural archives. Through plans, sections, photographs, digital mapping, and a series of 1:10 sectional models, the tour will examine five projects: the proposed Central Bank of China Guangzhou Branch, So Uk Estate Blocks P, Q, and R, Ritz Garden Apartments, Repulse Bay Towers, and Fair Wind Residence. Together, these works reveal a range of public and domestic living typologies—from commercial and institutional architecture to public housing, urban apartments, luxury residential towers, and the private house—while showing how Luke’s consistent architectural sensitivity shaped everyday life through deep eaves, balconies, corridors, and screens in response to Hong Kong’s dense, hot, and humid environment. Taking place on the final day of the exhibition, the tour will also feature the second rotation of original archival drawings, offering a different selection from those shown at the opening.

Look forward to seeing you all!

Walk Recap | Cho Yiu Chuen 祖堯邨

On 19th July 2026, our member Han Man led a guided walk of Cho Yiu Chuen 祖堯邨 (1971), designed by Palmer and Turner. Traversing housing blocks of different densities on the steep hillsides of Lai King, we experienced the architects’ vision of creating a self-sustained and well-facilitated community within the estate. We also discussed how the design responded to the economic, topographic, and accessibility challenges in the process.
With its swimming pool, past record of having the world’s tallest public housing tower, and integration of elderly care, it remains one of the key milestones in Hong Kong’s public housing development.

Thank you to all participants for coming, and special thanks to Hong Kong Housing Society and Cho Yiu Chuen Estate Office for facilitating the visit!
