GO PARK Sai Sha is a remarkable sports and entertainment precinct in Ma On Shan, delivering world-class leisure facilities for the surrounding community, thanks in large part to the foresight and resolve of its developer, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and the creative genius of its designer Zaha Hadid Architects. It has already attracted an incredible 2 million visits since opening in January this year.

From boundary-pushing global showcases to rising local talent, Design Mumbai 2025 is set to be a landmark celebration of contemporary design on the world stage.
The thing that impressed me was the youthful spirit. Young designers, young practitioners. You could feel the spirit and quality of their work. That’s encouraging.
Congratulations to the A&D Awards for celebrating excellence in architecture. I hope more professionals join in the coming years to make its impact even more far-reaching.
Thank you, A&D Awards. You’ve been an amazing support for our practice. Without you, I think we would not be where we are today.
The standard of entries was very high… I learnt a lot from them. I think they are an insight into Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
My advice is if you don’t enter you will not know how good or bad you are. So enter and share your projects on a great platform of design.
I’ve seen some really good projects and outside the box concepts, so I can’t wait to see more interesting work next year.
I think the projects are of really high caliber, and the awards are an endorsement of the quality of design. I think everyone should support them.
