Ian Lambot trained as an architect before arriving in Hong Kong in 1979, where he lived for the next 18 years.
After stints running an architectural model-making studio and working with Foster and Partners - on the early stages of the Hongkong Bank project - he set up Watermark Publications, publishing in the years since numerous books on architecture, engineering and design, including four volumes on the work of Norman Foster and, of course, City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City.
He now lives in the UK, where he continues to design and publish books on subjects that interest him.
