HKIA Young Architect Award 2022-Results

The HKIA Young Architect Award (YAA) is co-organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects and Asian Cultural Council Hong Kong annually to honour and acknowledge the talents and contribution of architects aged 35 or below.  Each year, the winner is selected based on criteria including: the quality of the design proposal for that year's theme, quality of previous personal work, professional and social participation, and proposal for the 3-week architectural study trip in the United States or one destination in Asia, sponsored by the Hsin Chong - K. N. Godfrey Yeh Education Fund.

 

While the winner would be granted a subsidy for a 3-week architectural study trip and the honour of Young Architect Award, a new element is introduced this year that Honourable Mention would receive a scholarship to achieve their career development plan of profession or other aspect(s) with generous sponsorship from Shui On Building Contractors Ltd.


The theme of HKIA Young Architect Award 2022 is "Countryside". Participants are invited to envision intervention with appropriate program in the countryside that respects the rich rural context, embraces nature and rethinks about the meaning of countryside conservation.
