AIA Hong Kong Chapter – Honors & Awards

For nearly 30 years, the AIA Hong Kong Chapter’s annual Honors and Awards Program has served as Asia’s premier platform for celebrating our members’ exceptional achievements in architecture, interiors, urban design, and unbuilt projects. Our distinguished international juries—including past Pritzker Prize juror Yung Ho Chang and renowned architect Lyndon Neri of Neri & Hu—conduct thorough, multi-phased evaluations that set our program apart, providing award recipients with credibility that extends internationally.
 
As early proponents of sustainable design, we introduced our Sustainability Award in 2007 and have since aligned our evaluation criteria with the AIA Framework for Design Excellence, ensuring that sustainability, equity, resilience, and well-being are integral to every recognition we grant.
 
Building on this foundation, we expanded our reach in 2023 by introducing the Open International category, welcoming licensed architects who have not yet joined the AIA while fostering stronger connections within the global design community.
 
Your exceptional work deserves evaluation by the industry’s most respected voices. Submit your projects today and join our shared vision of responsive buildings and livable cities that enrich lives and sustain the environment.
