The ArchiTech Hackathon: Bridging Architecture and AI is a 3-hour collaborative event co-hosted by GDG Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Institute of Architects Young Architects Group (HKIAYAG), and the Urbanism\Architecture Bi-city Biennale (UABB).

This in-person hackathon brings together architects, developers, and students to solve real-world design challenges using Google’s AI tools. Participants will explore the intersection of technology and design, fostering meaningful connections between Hong Kong’s tech and architectural communities during the closing phase of UABB. Workshop will be provided before the hackathon to equip participants essential skills in using Generative AI.
