Dear Members,
As a professional institute representing the architectural profession, The Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional conduct, integrity, and ethical behaviour among its members.
The Council would like to remind all members that membership of HKIA carries not only professional recognition but also the responsibility to uphold the Institute's values and reputation at all times, both in professional practice and in personal conduct.
Under The Rules of The Institute, the Council has the authority to take disciplinary action, including reprimand, suspension, expulsion from the Institute, notification to the Architects Registration Board, and/or the awarding of costs, where a member:
- Wilfully breaches a Rule of the Institute;
- Through professional or personal conduct, demonstrates behaviour that renders them unfit for membership;
- Brings, or is considered by the Council to have brought, the name of the Institute into disrepute; or
- Is convicted by a court of an offence that constitutes any of the above circumstances.
The Council encourages all members to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the professionalism, integrity, and dignity of the architectural profession, and to contribute positively to maintaining public confidence in both the Institute and the profession as a whole.
Please also be reminded that - “forged signature” is a criminal offence. Please do not enter into such act under any circumstance.
Thank you for your continued support in upholding the standards and reputation of HKIA.
The Council
The Hong Kong Institute of Architects
