"Projecting Future Heritage: A Hong Kong Archive," one of the Roving Architecture Exhibitions organized by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation under the sponsorship of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, held its ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, 31 January, at the Former Residence of Prince Sawasdiprawat (Sommot Amornbhand) in Bangkok. Unveiled at the Hong Kong Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2025 in Venice, where it garnered widespread international attention, this Roving Exhibition series brings Hong Kong's archive of civic architectures to Bangkok. Responding to the theme of the Biennale Architettura 2025, 'Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective', the exhibition's curators Fai Au, Ying Zhou, and Sunnie S.Y. Lau highlight the collective 'intelligens' of Hong Kong's public infrastructures that represents the Hong Kong's shifting paradigms.

This exhibition is part of the Advanced Architectural Design and Development studio by graduate students of the Master of Architecture in Architectural Design (International Program), Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, collaborated with Bangkok Design Week. The design brief began with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s projects in 2024—such as the redesign of the city’s identity system and the launch of a new landmark billboard in the city center—which are part of a broader effort to “rebrand” the city.
