Abstract
This chapter weaves together three genealogies. The first maps an educational institution, the former Chu Hai University (CHU), now named Chu Hai College of Higher Education (CHCHE), adrift across the “Pearl Sea,” as the Greater Bay Area (GBA) was formerly known. It follows the migration of an institutional enclave as it encounters various political regimes—nationalist, colonial, communist—even beyond the GBA megaregion. The second genealogy describes the development of a district-level governance model based on colonial notions of a “district citizen,” which replaced a village-based Confucian clan lineage system in Tsuen Wan New Town in British Hong Kong. Finally, the third presents a pedagogical experiment in internationalizing a new generation of architects, coinciding with the introduction of One Country Two Systems in Hong Kong—the International Design Program (IDP) developed at CHCHE in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, from 2005 to 2015.
