Now we are delighted to announce we were the Title Sponsor of The 2010 AIA Hong Kong Honors & Awards Ceremony and Celebration Dinner, as the support of Hong Kong design industry is for us very important. The AIA Hong Kong Honors & Awards Ceremony was held on the 20th October 2010 at the Rotunda, Exchange Square; in this year's edition it was The American Institute of Architects Hong Kong's annual Design Award Program that recognizes excellence in architectural design of projects. The aim of the program was to increase awareness of outstanding architecture and to honor the AIA member architects, clients, and consultants who work together to improve the built environment we all share. There were mainly two categories of Awards: Design Awards and Scholastic Awards. The Awards winners included Nelson Chen Architects Ltd., Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Arquitectonica, Ronald Lu & Partners, CL3 Architects Limited, Yuchang Chang AIA, AEDAS Ltd, Richards Basmajian, HOK International Asia Pacific Ltd, Integrated Design Associates Ltd.
We participated to both events by displaying a model of Artematica, our 100% recyclable kitchen programs, which perfectly matched with the design projects of members of AIA and guests, especially because we could share the same commitment and devotion to protect the environment.
Since arriving in Hong Kong, we have been trying to promote the local design industry. To do that, on the 29th October we invited the top talents across design industry to join a cocktail party at Rimadesio Flagship Store at Happy Valley, our brand new flagship store in hong Kong, to preview the artworks of entrants of the “Dress Up Your Kitchen” competition organized in conjunction with Perspective magazine.
