Condition_Lab is a Design Research Laboratory based within the School of Architecture at CUHK. Established in 2018, our primary focus is to improve people’s lives through design.
The Lab’s research resolves around designing socially responsible architectural prototypes. By working hand-in-hand with local partners on real sites, our aim is to develop projects that foster a better sense of community. The prototype acts as a vessel to generate new knowledge about how people inhabit their environment.
Our philosophy revolves around the paradox embedded into the word “condition”, as a noun it refers to a context, a circumstance, or a situation, while as a verb it implies change - to condition something based on an original state.

Competition Entry
The concept behind this project is to merge the architecture of the museum with the architecture of the landscape via the application of an abstract “grid”. The grid creates a spatial condition that engages with every aspect of the design strategy: it articulates a series of alley ways that weave the design into the context, the by-product of the grid are a series of rooms that act as exhibition spaces and external courtyards, and finaly establishes a clear language between the cultural complex and the adjacent hill.
