CUHK architecture graduate Robert Tang (BSSc 2020) has been selected as a finalist at the INSPIRELI AWARDS 2020 – one of the biggest global student competitions in architecture, urban design and interior design, with over 1000 project entries this year – for his U6 project “Power House”.

Supervised by Prof. Sebastian Law , the project steers away from the conventional sports center layout and aims at calling back to the historical identity of the industrial area. Inspired by the adjacent old quarry of A Kung Ngam and industrial facilities, the separate massings are connected by exposed tubes serving as vertical and horizontal circulations – a key design feature reminiscent of conveyor belts in mining facilities.

“Power House” has previously received Exceptional Honor at TEAM20’s 8 ^th Annual Architecture and Urban Planning Graduation Projects Competition – Architecture Design Category. This annual competition, with a focus on graduation projects, serves as a platform for dialogue, exchange and sharing of views and experiences among young architecture students.
