Chief Architect, Division III: J. LEI Meng-can
Chief Architect, Division IV: P. CHUNG Yin-min, Dip.Arch., A.R.I.B.A.

All five Architectural Divisions are engaged on new works and each is headed by a Chief Architect. Divisions I and II are each sub-divided into three groups headed by Senior Architects, each group forming a working team capable of handling the whole process of designing the buildings and preparing the architectural drawings for the projects allocated to them. To each of these groups is allocated the building programme of specific Government departments, whilst other buildings designated 'general' are distributed amongst the groups. This system simplifies liaison with the departments concerned and enables each group to acquire a background of experience of the building requirements of their client Departments.
Division III is responsible for that part of the housing programme entrusted to the Office in addition to a number of other projects such as crematoria, standard clinics and recreation grounds. Also in Division III is a minor works group, headed by a Senior Architect, which deals with the very large number of minor projects in the Programme, many of them on behalf of the Urban Council. Division IV is responsible for military and defence works projects generally and Division V, which was created during the latter part of the year under review, is responsible for the works programme involved in relocating the Headquarters of the British Forces in Hong Kong at H.M.S. Tamar and relocating at Sek Kong those services, including the Royal Air Force, currently stationed at R.A.F. Kai Tak.
