The RIBA Hong Kong Chapter celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022 with a series of exciting and inspiring events celebrating architecture, creativity, and design discourse.

The anniversary celebrations provided a unique opportunity to connect with local and British architectural practices, graduates, and academics.

In collaboration with the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong, the chapter hosted a three-part design dialogue series that included pertinent topics such as: What’s next for Hong Kong architecture, Transformation of British architecture in Hong Kong, and Architects response to the pandemic.
