The CIB-HKU student chapter is one of the most important student academic groups in the faculty of architecture of HKU. I am very proud that our students and members are always sufficient passion on promoting the development of our chapter and helping to improving students’ academic abilities. In the passed years, a lot of our members were paying very much effort on housting research seminars of Phd students, organizing academic exchange trips with other CIB chapters, including The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Shenzheng Univerity. And in this year, our chapter is successfully work as the co-organizer to host an international conference about architecture design. In this progress, the members of our chapter learned how to deal with a conference. And our students have a great change to learn the design ideas from all around the world. In the further years, I hope our chapter can host more academic activities, which can work as the most important platform of academic communication and practice court of new research students. In the welcome part of this year, I saw so many passion and vitality new-faces. It is so happy to know you all. Looking at your faces, which are full of hopes and brightness, I have a lot confidence that our CIB-HKU chapter will have a new leap of progress in the further two years with the efforts from all of you.
