## ARCHITECTURAL DIVISIONS
Chief Architect Division I:
W. E. LEVIE, Dip.Arch. Edinburgh, A.R.I.B.A.
Chief Architect Division II:
WONG Ting-tsai, B.Sc. Hong Kong, A.R.I.B.A.
C. R. J. DONNITHORNE, A.R.I.B.A. (Acting)
Chief Architect Division III:
C. BRAMWELL, Dip.Arch. Dunelm, A.R.I.B.A. (Acting)
2.07. All architects were engaged on new works and were divided into three divisions, each under a Chief Architect. Divisions I and II were each sub-divided into two groups, each group headed by a Senior Architect with a team, on average, of 4 Architects, 4 to 5 Assistant Architects and 7 to 8 Architectural Assistants. In addition to the architectural groups there were two Senior Architects who, with supporting staff, assumed responsibility for individual major projects.
2.08. During the year, additional staff was approved for the expanded Resettlement and Low Cost Housing Programme and toward the end of the year, the former Group V, which dealt with this work, was regraded as Division III under a Chief Architect, with a staff of 3 Architects, 3 Assistant Architects and 5 Architectural Assistants.
2.09. To each division and group was allotted the building programme of specific Government departments, whilst other buildings designated 'general' were distributed amongst the groups. This system simplified liaison with the departments concerned and enabled each group to acquire a background of experience of the building requirements of their client departments, thereby facilitating a better output of work.
2.10. Consultations were held on all projects between architects, structural, electrical and air-conditioning engineers and quantity surveyors.
