Engaging the Public

At the ArchSD, we believe an informed and engaged public is pivotal to shaping Hong Kong’s sustainable built environment. Through diverse outreach initiatives, we connect the community with our projects while enhancing public understanding of architectural innovation’s role in sustainable urban development.

Our multi-faceted approach – from public competitions and carnivals to expert lectures, site visits and knowledge exchange – serves three core objectives: promoting knowledge exchange on cutting-edge construction solutions, nurturing future built-environment talents, and fostering community collaboration for continuous progress.

Promoting Cultural Heritage

The ArchSD is a passionate steward of Hong Kong’s built heritage, dedicated to conserving the city’s iconic landmarks. We are committed to transforming historic buildings into valuable community assets, repurposing them as cultural landmarks that support sustainable development and foster public engagement.

Notable revitalised historic buildings – including Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, Dr. SUN Yat-sen Museum, Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal, Oil Street Art Space, Old Aberdeen Police Station, Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre, Former French Mission Building and Former Kowloon British School – continue to thrive as vibrant, functional spaces. These treasured sites embody Hong Kong’s enduring legacy, serving as both living history and dynamic contributors to the city’s rich culture. Each project stands as a testament to innovative conservation and the creation of a lasting heritage for future generations.
