HONG KONG SAR –
\nMedia OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 9 January 2026 – The
\n2025 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism Architecture (Hong Kong) (UABBHK 2025)<\/b> is entering its final two weeks at
\nOil Street Art Space (Oi!)<\/b> and
\nEast Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC)<\/b>. Organised by
\nThe Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation<\/b>, and co-organised by
\nThe Hong Kong Institute of Architects<\/b>,
\nThe Hong Kong Institute of Planners<\/b>, and
\nThe Hong Kong Designers Association<\/b>, the Biennale is proudly supported by the
\nCultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA)<\/b> as Lead Sponsor.<\/p>\n

Reimagining Architecture as Civic Performance<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

Under the theme
\n“TECHFORMANCE: Technology, Platform and Performance”,<\/b> UABBHK 2025 explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the architectural discipline \u2014 from static design to dynamic, participatory experience. Featuring over 25 exhibits across two venues, the Biennale brings together architects, designers, artists, and researchers to examine how emerging technologies such as generative design, robotics, immersive media, and machine learning are transforming authorship, spatial storytelling, and public engagement.\n<\/p>\n

Exhibits Worth Revisiting <\/b>\n<\/p>\n

As the Biennale draws to a close, the curatorial team invites visitors to experience some of the most thought-provoking and visually striking works.\n<\/p>\n

At
\nOi!<\/b>,
\n“Sanctum in the AI Age: Redefining the Human-Deities Nexus in Urban Future”<\/i> <\/b>by
\nJessica Kong<\/b> and
\nNam Wu<\/b> offers a compelling exploration of AI-generated shrine designs and spirituality in hyper-dense urban contexts. Nearby,
\n“Island Totem”<\/i><\/b> by
\nIsland Works<\/b> presents a poetic memorial column using water, light, and soundscape to reflect on the overlooked histories and geographies of Hong Kong’s islands.\n<\/p>\n

At
\nEKCC<\/b>,
\n“Sentient Mirror \u2013 Genius Loci”<\/i><\/b> by
\nXCEPT <\/b>invites visitors to contribute personal memories and emotional data which are transformed into a dynamic “memory-scape” of Hong Kong architecture.
\n“Stone Synergy: AI-Driven Community Housing”<\/i><\/b> by
\nOlivia Chen<\/b> proposes a design platform that empowers communities to co-create sustainable housing using local materials and machine learning. In
\n“Collaborative Ephemeral Pavilion \u2013 Design with Technology”<\/i>,<\/b>
\nProf. Tris Kee<\/b> and students from
\nThe Hong Kong Polytechnic University<\/b> repurpose metal scaffolding into a community-built pavilion that shares local stories through interactive media. Meanwhile,
\n“Computational BioPhilia: Culture-Nature Synthesis in Biomimicry Fabrication”<\/i><\/b> by
\nPatrick So<\/b>,
\nBojia Xiao<\/b> and
\nPolly Heng<\/b> presents a biodegradable architectural prototype that nurtures soil regeneration using AI and modular design, blending ecological restoration with digital fabrication.\n<\/p>\n

Upcoming Programmes \u2014 Tech Sunday and Guided Tours<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

On
\n18 January 2026<\/b>, UABBHK 2025 will host its final
\nTech Sunday<\/b> at Oi!, featuring two sessions. The
\nmorning session<\/b>,
\n“Cultural Identity & Ritual in the AI-Enhanced Urban Realm”<\/i><\/b>,<\/i> includes presentations by
\nAshley Wong<\/b>,
\nJessica Kong<\/b>, and
\nVicky Lam<\/b>, exploring informal shrines, afterlife economies, and AI-generated flower market futures. In the
\nafternoon<\/b>,
\n“Craft, Algorithm, and Robotic Fabrication”<\/i><\/b> brings together
\nKristof Crolla<\/b>,
\nGarvin Goepel<\/b>,
\nSu Chang<\/b>, and others to discuss AI-enabled design and fabrication practices.\n<\/p>\n

To complement the forums, free
\nguided tours<\/b> are available at both venues on

Cross-Border Dialogue Continues in Shenzhen<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

Beyond the Hong Kong venues, UABBHK 2025 is also being showcased in the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism Architecture (Shenzhen) (UABBSZ), which has been opened on 31 December 2025, at the
\nHetao Science and Technology Innovation Center<\/b>. Themed as
\n“City Theater”,<\/i> UABBSZ positions Shenzhen as a city of performative stage where architecture, technology, and civic life intersect. In Shenzhen, a symbolic tunnel portal installation of UABBHK 2025 is set, linking Shenzhen and Hong Kong as a gesture of spatial and curatorial continuity.\n<\/p>\n
