CUHK alumna Milly Lamhas been awarded the DFA Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award 2024.
Currently pursuing her PhD at the School of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Milly previously earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in 2013 and 2018, respectively.
During her Master’s program, Milly transformed her understanding of architecture, embracing her roles as both a designer and a researcher. In her final year, she created the impactful project ‘REPAIR (IN) HONG KONG,’ which documented the disappearing street repair shops in the city through illustrations, preserving their memories for future generations.
Milly’s passion extends beyond borders; she has worked on projects in rural China and Africa, focusing on building libraries for children. Since 2018, she has designed and constructed the Gaobu Book House and Pingtan Book House in remote areas of Hunan Province. Her latest endeavor, the Malong Book House, is currently under construction and is set to be completed by 2025. Additionally, she has finalized the prototype design for the Kuku Book House in Kenya.
DFA Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award, established in 2005, aims to nurture up-and-coming design practitioners and design graduates by supporting them to work or study abroad.
