Description

Please join our Fireside Chat, a joint venture between AIA Hong Kong and RIBA Hong Kong Chapter, to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, 2022.

IWD is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year’s campaign theme, #BreakTheBias, focuses on topics that imagine a gender equal world, a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination – a world that is diverse, equitable, inclusive and a world where differences are valued and celebrated.

In recognizing the contributions of women around the world – particularly in our industry – we are honored to have Lay Bee Yap, Louise Browne, J Lee Rofkind, FAIA, and Kathy Zhu Schleiss, Assoc. AIA joining our Fireside Chat. During this webinar, the four speakers will share with us their career paths and contributions to sustainability and wellness as well as their advice for young architects and their proudest achievements and challenges in architecture.

This event will be moderated by Nuno Da Silva Tang, Assoc. AIA, Co-Chair of our AIA Hong Kong Programs Committee.
