Project Categories

Restoration

A Restoration project is one that involves repair and maintenance to return a heritage building (interior and/or exterior) or site back to its original architectural splendour for the same use for which it was originally designed.

Adaptive Reuse

An Adaptive Reuse project is one that involves a new use of a heritage building (interior and/or exterior) or site and may include new addition, modification and restoration to render a heritage building or site suitable for a new functional purpose that is different from its original use.

Interpretation

An Interpretation project is one that involves means of interpreting the heritage information of a heritage building (interior and/or exterior) or site for the general public, such as in the form of a permanent or temporary exhibition, an interpretation centre or a small museum attached to a heritage site or building, or other electronic means.

The Jury Panel

Chaired by the HKICON Council, a panel of local and overseas conservation experts will be formed to review submissions spanning three categories — Restoration, Adaptive Reuse and Interpretation.
