Zero Carbon Architecture＆Future City
OUR GOAL ：Toward A Better Life
Welcome to the Research Group of Zero Carbon Architecture＆Future City, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology!
Our group is committed to exploring the frontiers of Sustainable architecture and future city practices. We work in close collaboration with esteemed industry partners to spearhead the advancement of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) automated manufacturing, construction, and installation areas.
Our approach involves the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as Design for smart low-altitude infrastructur, Automation and prefabrication in construction, Modular Integrated Construction, LLM & Digital Twins of smart home, advanced thin film photovoltaic manufacturing, smart windows (electrochromic glass), and structural color coating. Our ultimate objective is to develop innovative solutions for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings that are at the forefront of modern architecture
