Born in Guangzhou, raised in Hong Kong, and educated across several continents, Fai Au investigates new directions in architecture through his work as a designer, professor, and curator. Yet the constant self-reminder of his practice is to return to the fundamentals of architecture—form, space, light, and material. Resisting the overexuberant production of architectural forms by fast and convenient computational tools, Au instead hopes to arrive at design solutions that anchor deeply into the cultural and physical context, manifest the essence of place, and respond to regional climate and local building technology.
