AIA Hong Kong - First Projects Conversation Series: Paul Tse + Evelyn Ting
When: Thursday 25 February 2021 @ 06:30 (Eastern US Time)/ 19:30 (Hong Kong time)
CES Credits - 2.0 LUs for AIA Members
Description
AIA Hong Kong is excited to announce First Projects, a series of conversations about “the construction of a practice” with talented young individuals who have initiated and maintained a career in architecture and design.
Architects from Hong Kong, the US and the Asia-Pacific region will reflect upon how their firm started – be it a first house, a lost competition, an unsolicited proposal, or a work on paper – and how that became the catalyst for the architectural adventures they are in now.
We will kick off this series with Paul Tse AIA and Evelyn Ting AIA, co-founders and directors of New Office Works (NOW).
