MIPIM Asia Awards Add New Prizes and Industry Tribute

The third edition of the MIPIM Asia Awards has partnered with Aedas and the South China Morning Post to host the duo's Greenville Student Design Competition, which call on young architects to design new homes for people affected by the devastating earthquake that swept through China's Sichuan province in May 2008.

During the MIPIM Asia Awards 2009, Keith Griffiths, Chairman of Aedas' Global board and of the Middle East and Asia, will announce the 10 shortlisted entries of the Greenville Student Design Competition. The MIPIM Asia Awards Ceremony will take place on the opening day of MIPIM Asia (Wednesday, November 18) from 5.45pm at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

In a second addition to the MIPIM Asia Awards 2009 ceremony, the College of Estate Management (CEM), the leading provider of supported distance learning for real estate and construction professionals, will pay tribute to Professor Li Shirong, Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Institution of Civil Engineers. Since 1987, the CEM has recognised individuals who have made a significant contribution to the UK and international property industry. Professor Li Shirong has combined her work as a Professor of Construction Management at Chongqing University with her role in local government, where she is responsible for urban development and construction. She is a key player in the UK-China Sustainable Cities Initiative.
