CJ Lim (born in Malaysia) is the Academic Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment at University College London (UCL); and served as Vice-Dean and Pro-Provost of University College London. He is the founder and director of Studio 8 Architects, a UK-based multidisciplinary and international practice in sustainable urban planning, architecture and landscape, focusing on interpretations of social, cultural and environmental programmes.
CJ Lim engages in multi-disciplinary research in urban planning, architecture and landscape, focusing on cultural, social and sustainability issues. His research of cities is developed through a new urban paradigm - the ‘Smartcity’. A central component of the Smartcity is urban agriculture and the establishment of an ecological symbiosis between nature and built form. New-built or retrofitted, the Smartcity promotes the significance of local food culture, global food security and food as energy. His most celebrated piece of research architecture as ‘built cultural assemblage’ is ‘Virtually Venice’, a project commissioned by the British Council UK for the Venice Architecture Biennale; the research investigated differences and similarities of East-West cultures and identities. Other key research projects include 'London in two-and-a-half dimensions', ‘Multi-Cultural’, ‘How Green is your Garden?’ and ‘Sins’.
