Hang Lung Young Architects Program
Program Introduction
The Hang Lung Young Architects Program (HLYAP) aims to inspire students with the beauty and stories of architecture, encourage them to explore the relationship between architecture and our communities, and provide them with basic architectural knowledge.
With the strong support of secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and many of our city's most renowned architects, we were glad to see the Program receive an overwhelming response in the last academic year.
The 2019-20 edition of the Program will begin the school recruitment process in May. We will be inviting over 300 students to participate in a new series of engaging activities including interactive seminars, workshops, and guided tours, as well as a creative project, which will allow them to deepen their understanding of Hong Kong's architecture and reflect on its relationship with the community.
The Program is free of charge. Students who complete the Program will be presented with certificates, while the winning teams in the Sketch Your Sky Creative Project will also participate in an Overseas Architectural Tour during the 2020 summer holiday.
