J. B. AITKEN, D.A. (Edinburgh), A.R.I.B.A. (from 23.9.68)

3.09. All three architectural divisions are engaged on new works and each is headed by a Chief Architect. Divisions I and II are each sub-divided into two groups, headed by a Senior Architect, 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 the whole of the Resettlement and Government Low Cost Housing programme in addition to a number of other projects. Attached to Divisions I and II are three specialist architectural groups, each headed by a Senior Architect, whose function is to concentrate on one or more large single projects. Examples of work currently in hand by these specialist groups are Lai Chi Kok and Kowloon Hospitals; Kai Tak Airport Redevelopment; Murray Building Government Offices; two new abattoirs and a General Post Office. Attached to Division III is an architectural group responsible for military and defence works projects.
3.10. Details of the many projects undertaken by these three Divisions, which were under construction or were completed during the year, are given in paragraphs 3.29 to 3.98.
