Loud cheers erupted when Mumbai-based Sanjay Puri Architects broke through to win the prestigious Practice of the Year Award (pictured top right), from fellow finalists AB Concept, Aedas and Atelier Global.
There was another joyous moment when almost all of this year’s 40 Under 40 Award winners, representing 40 of the most talented young designers in the region, came up on stage for a group photo (pictured bottom right). They were applauded by former winner and Awards sponsor, Barrie Ho, via a video message from his recently launched studio, BHA London.
We at PERSPECTIVE offer our hearty congratulations to all the winners and our sincere thanks to the judges, supporting organisations, sponsors and participants.
Young and emerging architects and designers now have an outstanding opportunity to show how their ideas and passion for the craft can make a meaningful difference to the broader community, thanks to a ground-breaking new competition just launched by the Hong Kong Housing Authority.
While technology is transforming architecture and design by automating many time-consuming processes, is it also threatening traditional skills, like hand sketching, that have long been part of the designer’s toolkit? RIBA HK is hosting a fascinating new exhibition and competition motivated by Chair Dennis Ho’s passion to preserve the art of sketching.
Architect Owen Lam is just 36 years old but he’s already forging an impressive reputation as a thought leader in intergenerational design. His proposal for a creative and sensitive refurbishment of old tenement buildings, in which many elderly residents live alone in Hong Kong, has helped him win one of two leading industry awards and a trip to Japan to study intergenerational housing projects.
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.
