The book [KONG KONG ARCHITECTURE - Hong Kong City Architecture User Guide] has won the 2024 Good Design Award in the Media & Content category, announced on October 16, 2024. As the first architectural book to win this award, it offers a fresh approach to understanding architecture, specifically focusing on offering an accessible guide to appreciating the structures that surround us in everyday life.

The history of modern architecture has been well covered in classical surveys that traced the developments of this major movement that dominated the architectural landscape of the 20th century until the beginning of the 1970s, when a major contesting movement appeared on the scene, labelled as Post-Modernism. This book explores the different tendencies that affected the developments of the past six decades, beginning around the 1960s, when a new wind started to blow from within Modernism, leading to different reactions and counter-reactions. This book provides a survey of contemporary developments, starting with an introductory chapter on the transitional period of the 1960s and then examining the different movements that followed, charting a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.
