RIBA Hong Kong Fellows’ Forum 2026 | Reflecting on Practice, Leadership and the Future of Architecture
QUAD Studio was honoured to participate in the RIBA Hong Kong Chapter Fellows’ Forum on 15 June 2026, alongside an inspiring group of architects and industry leaders.
We extend our thanks to the RIBA Hong Kong Chapter for hosting, to Angeliki Koliomichou for moderating the panel discussion, and to Celia Lai and Christopher Lye for opening and closing the event.
The forum featured a compelling presentation by Keith Griffiths, Founder & Principal of Aedas, titled “Connected and Porous Low Energy Cities,” offering a forward-looking vision for sustainable and integrated urban design.
Our Founding Partner, Wai Tang, shared his presentation “Vitruvian Rhapsody,” reflecting on his journey toward RIBA Fellowship—shaped by mentorship, collaboration, and the ongoing development of the Collective Polymath.
The panel discussion also benefited from the valuable insights of Ruffina Thilakartne and Nelson Chen, contributing to a rich exchange on leadership, advocacy, and the evolving impact of AI on architectural practice.
As the industry enters a new era shaped by emerging technologies, the role of architects continues to expand—requiring both critical judgement and the ability to meaningfully curate information.
Mentorship remains central. As AI becomes an increasingly powerful creative tool, guiding the next generation to use it responsibly and effectively will be essential.
