In this talk, the speaker, architect Ka Chi, will share his embrace of the multiple roles in the building industry, each reflected in the projects he has undertaken. 

As an Architect, he serves as an executive mediator—advising owners, administering contracts, and ensuring compliance with government regulations and industry standards for the public good. 

As a Designer, he is engaged in design dialogue, crafting spaces that align with clients’ ambitions and expectations. 

As a Builder, through his design-and-build practice, he oversees every step with care, creating spaces deeply connected to human lives.

These roles—Architect, Designer, Builder —shape his approach to architecture; blending precision, creativity, and commitment to a meaningful, user-focused architecture.
