Dr. Yat Shun Kei

Y.S.Kei@liverpool.ac.uk

I am interested in urban and architectural culture of the 1970s in Britain, Hong Kong and China. My current research looks into how the environmental movement shaped discourses in urban planning and preservation. This study is an extension from my PhD which looks into the parallels in preservation movement and Postmodern architecture through the works of Theo Crosby (1925-1994), the founder of Pentagram design.

I am trained as an architect and have worked as a strategic planner and architectural designer in London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, and Shenzhen. In 2011 to 2015, as a design fellow at Urbanus (Hong Kong/ Shenzhen), I led several large-scale design projects including Shum Yip Upperhills Loft. My experience in practice has informed my research interest in land rights and planning issues in China and Hong Kong.
