Tom Verebes, Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, believes passionately that architectural exhibitions play an important role in forming the public’s perception of the city, and also how the public can play a part in shaping the future of towns of Hong Kong, as well as cities in the Pearl River Delta.

Verebes is the creative director of OCEAN.CN Consultancy Network, an architectural practice, which is currently participating in The Hong Kong-Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale in Architecture which opened on 4 December, 2009 and runs until 27 February, 2010. This is the largest architectural exhibition in Hong Kong, held every two years.
