About us

Objects of The Institute The two main objects of the Institute are i) to promote the general advancement of architecture and to promote and facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge of the various arts and sciences connected therewith; ii) to raise the standard of architecture in Hong Kong and the standard of professional architectural services offered by members of the Institute. Professional Qualification In Hong Kong, registration of architects are governed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) under the Architects Registration Ordinance (Chapter 408). Every year, graduates with recognized architectural education qualification and appropriate practical experience, aspiring to become a Registered Architect, can sit the Professional Assessment jointly held by the Institute and ARB. Successful candidates will be admitted as a Member of the Institute which, in accordance with the Architects Registration Ordinance, will be readily accepted as a Registered Architect by ARB. Alternatively for overseas professional architects with adequate relevant local experience, they can apply for HKIA membership and hence register as a Registered Architect in Hong Kong, through a Professional Induction Workshop followed with an interview held jointly by the Institute and ARB. Accreditation of Architectural Education The Institute works closely with the ARB to accredit the architectural courses offered by local universities and tertiary institutions and offers advice on the aspects of professional practice and practical experience in architecture. Apart from recognition in Hong Kong, architectural programmes accredited by HKIA/ARB are also recognised by Mainland as well as a number of overseas countries such as, Australia and New Zealand under Mutual Recognition agreement with respective accrediting authority.

Seven teams, including HKIA, participated in the tournament in a round-robin match format, with each match consisting of 9 games.
