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.

SNU DAAE 2.1
Seoul, 2010
The objective of this course is to help students to learn the process of design by encouraging them to get familiarized with the basic architectural concepts. Students are asked to carefully analyze the given context and the site, which are important part of design considerations, in the process of establishing architectural concepts that would reflect architect's aesthetic vision. Emphasis will be given on having students engaged in total design process in which students would learn to address such issues as site planning, program analysis and building design.
