<p>Learning from Tri-ciprocal Cities is more than a document of the 2011?12 Hong Kong &amp; Shenzhen Bi?City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture; it is a reflection on its themes and concepts which attempts to build an international theory of urban design and arrangement. The book is a platform for display of some of the Biennale's visual and text?based materials, as well as an opportunity for exhibitors, curators, members of the public, and academics to express their responses to the issues brought up by the works. In the content as well as the inspired graphic design of the book, it seeks to provoke new lines of thought that enabled a productive dialogue during the Biennale. The book's graphic layout, which privileges an experimental, multivalent point of view, is intended to support the Biennale's message of open?ended collaboration and discussion. Images, words, and public responses are arranged in a way that the readers need to keep rotating the book and be constantly engaged in the reading process. The book's pages then become a discursive space in which readers can explore an alternate side of the Biennale -even venturing behind the scenes to understand the work of the curators as well as the artists and designers.</p>

<p>In the spring of 2012, the Department of Architecture at The University of Hong Kong conducted a series of Research and Design (R&amp;D) studios within its Master of Architecture Program. One of the R&amp;D topics, led by Mr. Anderson Lee, was to study and examine the potential role and development of a historical building in the heart of Hong Kong: The Old Wan Chai Police Station and Married Quarters. The students were asked to address issues ranging from public space in contemporary cities to heritage conservation, from design and building technology to sustainable planning. This book presents the recorded research and subsequent design proposals; however, they are by no means the final conclusion on such a complex topic. In the studio, which lasted only 12 weeks, the students tried to identify: issues of scales that inform and affect architectural decision-making; the role of stakeholders pertaining to development; the urban and economic forces that shape the morphology of the urban fabrics; a way to integrate new programmatic elements within the existing urban fabrics; and to design a mixed-used project on a constrained site with a given formal and tectonic logic. The Old Wan Chai Police Station and Married Quarters remains largely uninhabited and its future is yet to be determined. Under the current political climate in Hong Kong, it is almost certain that this piece of colonial past will sit idle for a few more years…</p>
