After two weeks leave, including time camping and mountain biking in the Flinders, it is good to be back at the Chapter. During my absence we have been advised of another Ideas Competition — this time in Hong Kong. The ‘Design Ideas Competition for Preservation Corridor for Lung Tsun Stone Bridge Remnants’ is a government run ideas competition that sees Adelaide’s Liz Vines (McDougall and Vines) engaged as the Head Juror. Along with being a renowned local heritage architect, Liz is also President, Australia ICOMOS.
The funded competition (3 winning entry prizes plus 3 shortlisted entry prizes) closes this Friday on October 18th. For more information visit www.Ltsb-design.hk and you can download the competition document from their home page. It is my understanding that the competition is supported by various local professional bodies however endorsement has not been sought from our own Institute.
