Introduction Patrick Hwang is a design professional focusing on the research of architectural education. Since 2010, he has been developing an empirical operational theory involving a transformative design process. Within the Master of Architecture design studio setting, these projects have engaged with the issues of collective memory, heritage adaptation and urban revitalisation in various cities across Asia.
Through his dual role of Chair of Teaching and Learning Committee and Director of BSSc Programme at the School of Architecture, Patrick has invested a significant share of his efforts in curriculum reform in recent years. He has been focusing on both the studio organisation and course learning model as a way to respond to the changing terrain of the architectural practice.
Patrick is a licensed architect in the United States. He has over a decade of experience in practice working on the design of various speculative and built works of architecture, including the Art Gallery of Ontario heritage transformation; Fresno Metropolitan Museum; David L. Lawrence Convention Center and Rainbow Apartments in Skidrow. Prior to joining CUHK, he was Assistant Professor at University of Arizona. Patrick holds degrees of architecture from both Columbia University and Rhode Island School of Design.
