Abstract
After six years of preparation, the 20th Congress of the International Union of Architects, which is hosted once every three years, opened in Beijing on 23 June 1999, in the Great Hall of the People. In Chicago back in 1993, Chinese delegates beat four other candidates to be successfully elected to hold the World Congress in Beijing. This is the first time the UIA's Congress has been held in the Asia/Australia region since the organisation was founded in 1948. Tony Tang (senior architect, Wong Tung & Partners) is a council member and chairman of the Board of Overseas Affairs of the HKIA. He reports on the highlights.
