Efficiency is an ever-changing concept and how efficiency is achieved is debatable. The guidebook project selected several modern housing estates and institutions in Kwun Tong, with each site demonstrate differently on how and why efficiency is achieved through their own means. Through the controversy on the features among the sites, the guidebook seeks a deeper understanding on the concept of efficiency in modern architecture.
