About us

Objects of The Institute The two main objects of the Institute are i) to promote the general advancement of architecture and to promote and facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge of the various arts and sciences connected therewith; ii) to raise the standard of architecture in Hong Kong and the standard of professional architectural services offered by members of the Institute. Professional Qualification In Hong Kong, registration of architects are governed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) under the Architects Registration Ordinance (Chapter 408). Every year, graduates with recognized architectural education qualification and appropriate practical experience, aspiring to become a Registered Architect, can sit the Professional Assessment jointly held by the Institute and ARB. Successful candidates will be admitted as a Member of the Institute which, in accordance with the Architects Registration Ordinance, will be readily accepted as a Registered Architect by ARB. Alternatively for overseas professional architects with adequate relevant local experience, they can apply for HKIA membership and hence register as a Registered Architect in Hong Kong, through a Professional Induction Workshop followed with an interview held jointly by the Institute and ARB. Accreditation of Architectural Education The Institute works closely with the ARB to accredit the architectural courses offered by local universities and tertiary institutions and offers advice on the aspects of professional practice and practical experience in architecture. Apart from recognition in Hong Kong, architectural programmes accredited by HKIA/ARB are also recognised by Mainland as well as a number of overseas countries such as, Australia and New Zealand under Mutual Recognition agreement with respective accrediting authority.

  • The 18th Joint Professional Golf Tournament (JPGT) took place at the Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club on 12 March 2025. Despite challenging weather conditions, including fog that made play difficult for our HKIA players, the tournament was a resounding success at this stunning but unfamiliar coastal course. We are thrilled to announce that HKIA Golf Team emerged victorious, winning the tournament for the first time in 18 years, competing against six other professional bodies : HKMA, HKDA, HKBA, HKICPA, HKIS and HKLS. Congratulations to all 15 HKIA participants for their outstanding performances. A special thanks goes to HKICPA for organising the tournament so impeccably. We believe everyone had a fantastic time at this memorable event.

  • HKIA Special Award – Architectural Installation, Curation & Exhibition Design Project: E.CO Rotunda Architect: Department of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong Jury Report: The jury awards this project for its explorative and participatory approach to using bamboo construction as a means of placemaking for the village of Yim Tin Tsai and a way to preserve the intangible heritage of traditional craftsmanship. With careful consideration of the site context and approach, the architect and bamboo masters extended their collaborative research conducted three decades ago and transposed the traditional temporary bamboo structure for Xiqu plays into a distinctive rotunda-shaped event space at the village pier that partially stilted above the sea. Constructed with volunteer participants, the installation provides a heartfelt means to innovate upon the traditional technique while passing on the methods from one generation to the next. While temporal in nature, the installation poetically demonstrates the essence of architecture as a place of enclosure and assembly - an essence that transcends time and society. 香港建築師學會主題獎 -建築裝置、策展及展覽設計 項目: 【竹.地.人.和】生態竹亭 建築師: 香港大學建築學院 評審團報告: 評審團頒發此獎項予本項目,因其探索性和參與性的方法,利用竹子建築作為鹽田仔村地方營造的手段,同時也是保護傳統工藝非遺的方式。 建築師和竹藝師傅仔細考慮了場地背景,並延續三十年前的合作研究,將傳統戲曲的臨時竹棚轉變為鹽田仔碼頭上一個局部架空立於海面上的圓形活動空間。 這項目由志願者參與建造,對傳統技藝帶來一種由衷的創新,同時世代承傳。儘管建築物是臨時的,卻詩意地展示了建築提供圍合和作為集會之地的性質—一種跨越時間和社會的本質。 #hkia #annualawards2024 #HKIASpecialAward #architecture

  • HKIA Special Award - Sustainable Architecture President’s Special Prize Project: Lai Chi Wo Eco-Smart Public Toilet Architect: Countryside Conservation Office, Environment and Ecology Bureau, HKSAR Government Jury Report: The jury awards this project for its efforts to explore sustainable architectural design by using the latest architectural technologies in a site in Hong Kong where its remoteness from urban area and its designation as a Conservation Area constraints the available construction methods. The jury commends the architect’s effort in adopting the latest MiC prefabrication methods and various smart & low-carbon technologies to substantially reduce the amount of embodied carbon in construction and carbon emission during operation, its genuine attempts to promote the 4R (renew, reduce, reuse, recycle) principle in the design and construction of the public toilet, and its use of local materials that not only upcycles materials that would otherwise be abandoned but also allows the architecture to relate to the vernacular aspect of its site. All in all, it offers a constructive prototype for future projects in similar ecologically-sensitive settings. 香港建築師學會主題獎 -可持續性建築 會長特別獎狀 項目: 荔枝窩智環保公廁 建築師: 香港特別行政區政府環境及生態局鄉郊保育辦公室 評審團報告: 評審團頒發此獎項予本項目,因其在香港一個因為偏遠而且是保護區所以可用的建築方法極之受限的場地上,探索可持續建築設計的努力。 評審團讚揚建築師在採用最新的MiC預製方法和各種智能及低碳技術方面的努力,這大大減少了建築中的隱含以及運營碳排放;同時在公廁的設計和建設中真正推廣了4R(再生、減少、再利用、回收)原則;並使用了當地材料,不僅將本來會被遺棄的材料升級再利用,還加強了建築與場地的鄉土性連繫。 總括而言,這項目為未來在類似的生態敏感環境中的項目樹立了一個具建設性的原型範例。 #hkia #annualawards2024 #HKIASpecialAward #PresidentsSpecialPrize #architecture
