Year 1 Architecture Students Showcase at ArchSD 40th Anniversary Exhibition

We are delighted to share that selected architectural works from our Year 1 BSc (Hons) in Architectural Studies students are currently being showcased at the "Dreams of Our Future Architects" Exhibition. Organised on the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the Architectural Services Department (ArchSD), this signature collaborative programme celebrates architectural excellence and expertise with the next generation of designers in Hong Kong. The opening ceremony was held on 4 July 2026, attended by Prof. Puay Peng HO, Head Designate of the Department of Architecture, alongside our student representatives to celebrate this significant milestone. During the event, our students had the invaluable opportunity to present their design directly to esteemed ArchSD representatives, including Mr Li Kiu-yin, Michael, JP, the Director of Architectural Services. Through joint efforts with ArchSD teams and studio critiques, our students gained valuable industry insights and explored diverse architectural boundaries. Focusing on the theme of "Countryside Intervention", their selected projects of building a pavillion at a site in Long Ke demonstrate highly innovative design visions tailored for the sustainable development of the city. This roving exhibition brings together works from our department, ArchSD, and other participating universities to foster enduring partnerships between academia and the professional sector. The exhibition is fully open to the public at Area A, H6 CONET (G/F, The Center, Central) until 19 July 2026. We warmly welcome all staff members, students, friends, and families to visit the venue, engage with the creative displays, and celebrate the milestone achievements of our future architects.
