Description
AIA Hong Kong is thrilled to invite you to the next event in our Young Architects Group (YAG) Emerging Voices series: Two Cities – Two Cultures at our sponsor Steelcase’s showroom in Central for an exciting evening of thought-provoking presentations and discussions.
Two Cities – Two Cultures
Hong Kong and Seoul are unique environments, each a very high density metropolis comprising a mix of cultures and fascinating histories. This event will consider how architects leverage these attributes in their work and how the cultural and historical context of each city has inspired innovation and new ways of collaboration.
In our Emerging Voices Series, we explore how young design firms rethink and reinterpret the profession of architecture beyond day-to-day concerns, both in the area of practice and geographic boundaries.
Our panel will include four emerging practices, two based in Hong Kong and two in Seoul:
Atelier Chang Soohyun Chang, SIA, Principal
Studio 10 Shi Zhou, AIA, Founder
SS2 Architects Jaebong Jeon, AIA, Principal
Keunyoung Lim, BSA, Principal
COLLECTIVE Chi Yan Chan, Assoc. AIA, Director
Betty Ng, Assoc. AIA, RIBA, SBA, Founder
Juan Minguez, ARB (UK), RIBA, COAM, Director
Katja Lam, ARB (HK), RIBA, Director
During the event, our speakers will share case studies, past experiences and future aspirations for design innovation through collaboration. The discussion will be moderated by Eric Ho, AIA, co-founder of Architecture Commons and Neighbourhood Innovation Lab and Keojin Jin, AIA, Assistant Professor of Architectural Design at Pusan National University.
