Sony Devabhaktuni is assistant professor of design in the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) where he joined the architecture faculty in January 2016. He has taught design studios and elective seminars in the undergraduate and graduate programs. He also teaches an introduction to architectural representation for 1st and 2nd year students from across the university as part of the Common Core program. His research uses drawing to describe how architecture is situated within the world–understood both as a set of ecological relations and a site for human exchange. Before arriving in Hong Kong, he taught and practiced in Switzerland and France. He is both a writer and an architect and is currently working on several publications that focus on the entanglement between politics, architecture and urbanism.

Urs Meister, in collaboration with Johannes Käferstein, has been running the architectural practice Käferstein & Meister Architekten, based at 275 Limmatstrasse in Zurich's industrial district, since 1996 and is strongly rooted in the city and its building culture. The office team consists of an average of 10 employees. The firm is committed to high-quality, multi-layered architecture that is dedicated to the human being. In particular, there is an interest for an approach that focuses on the satisfaction of buildings and their robust materiality instead of an over-instrumented comfort.
