Prof. Nelson Chen wins two AIA Design Awards

Date 06.12.2024


Location Hong Kong


A transitional social housing project designed by Prof. Nelson Chen for the Society of Community Organization (SoCO) has received both Architecture and Sustainable Design Merit Awards from the AIA Hong Kong Chapter at the annual awards reception and exhibition at Exchange Square. Such temporary housing developments rely on prefabricated units known as Modular Integrated Construction (MiC). As compared with other MiC transitional housing, however, this design project features distinctly improved layouts, enhanced natural light and ventilation, as well as green landscaped central courtyard for social engagement and recreational activities.
