Leo A. Daly Honored in Hong Kong
Leo A. Daly recently received two 2011 AIA Hong Kong awards—an Honor Award for Architecture and a Sustainable Design Award—for its design work on the Savannah College of Art and Design Hong Kong campus in the Sham Shui Po district. Of the 12 winning projects, only two architecture firms received both Honor and Sustainable Design awards.
The adaptive reuse project, which transformed the decommissioned North Kowloon Magistracy Building into Hong Kong’s first university focused exclusively on art and design, is also the first completed under the Hong Kong government’s new public-private program, “Revitalizing Historic Buildings Through Partnership,” initiated to conserve and transform historic buildings for innovative uses.
The project also recently received an Honorable Mention in the 2011 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, which recognize the efforts of private individuals and organizations to restore structures of significance to the region.
