The architecture department of HKU ranks quite high in Asia, and I don't have specific data at hand. (I checked when I applied for the exam and it won't be worse than the top five. I am not responsible for this data at present. )
I want to say a little more. I wonder if the subject is a high school student who wants to study architecture. In Asia, the University of Tokyo and some Japanese universities are also quite strong. However, the methods and concepts of different schools of architectural design are very different (the style of domestic universities may be unified). You can ask more people in those schools to see what they are doing and if you are interested. HKU Architecture Department also has a summer camp for senior high school students. School ranking is very important, but don't ignore your collocation with school style.
