Tse-Hui’s
research interests are in urban design. She is particularly interested in how
infrastructures, technologies and cultures relate to urban forms. She uses a
CCAT (Collective Coevolution of Actant Trajectories) framework to investigate these
relationships and project how they may change in the future. She uses ethnographic
and codesign game methods for her research. She is currently working on four
research projects around water and sanitation infrastructures: CAMELLIA
(Community Water Management for a Liveable London); Coevolution of Water Reuse
Systems in Australia; Compost Communities at Spitalfields City Farm; and Sacred
Rice, Dirty Cress and Urbanisation in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

She teaches 'Urban Design: Layout, Density and Typology' and 'Sustainable Futures by Design' . She has taught ‘Sustainable Urban Development’, ‘Urban Design: Product,Process and Critique’, and 'Pillars of Planning: Environment'. At Columbia University, she has taught studio based courses in architecture and urban design. She has also been a guest critic at Columbia University and the Architecture Association; and has given guest lectures for Columbia University, Cooper Union and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
