Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Awards 2008

The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Awards are the region's most prestigious awards for Hong Kong architecture. This superbly reproduced annual celebrates the HKIA 2008 Awards all of which were granted for excellence in architectural design. In recent years new projects in Hong Kong have been scarce forcing architects to seek new markets in Macau, Mainland China (for large scale projects in particular), SE Asia and the Middle East. This book is a clear reflection of the diversity that has resulted. Richly illustrated with photographs, sketches and drawings, it features the winning projects in each category alongside honorable nominees. Judging criteria include heritage, sustainability, interior design, accessibility, urban design and technical innovation. Works include lecture theatres, hotel lobbies, external facades, residential projects, airport terminals and more.
