Max Hirsh will spend one year in Hong Kong to pursue research on his dissertation, “Airport Urbanism: Localizing the Global Hub.” Taking airport hubs as a useful lens for investigating the practical effects of globalization on contemporary cities, he will focus on the non-aviation purposes of Hong Kong’s airport. He highlights the continuing influence of local socioeconomic factors and cultural norms on urban development and interrogates the extent to which Hong Kong’s urban development strategies mediate between local, regional, and global priorities. During his research year, he will be affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong. He is advised by Antoine Picon, Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology, Harvard Design School.
