Building on last year's successful inaugural edition, Open House Hong Kong returns with the theme "What Makes a Good City?", which explores the diverse elements that contribute to a liveable and vibrant urban environment. New additions include the M+ Research Centre, Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre, the Tsui Ping River project, and University Hall. Curated walking routes highlight neighbourhood stories, from design discoveries in Sham Shui Po to public art along the Tuen Mun River, and Dialogues and Open Crit that encourage constructive discussions on architecture and urban design.

This year’s edition of Open House Taipei embraces the Open House Europe theme “Future Heritage — Inheritance & Renewal” through four lenses—City Memory, Creative Enclaves, Resilient Sustainability, and Housing-as-Generative—linking preservation with new civic uses. Over the 48-hour weekend and a month-long programme, more than 100 rarely accessible places open their doors across Taipei, inviting the public to rediscover the relationship between architecture and everyday life. Highlights include guided routes through New Garden Village; Dadaocheng Old Houses; and the Chengzhong (Old City) district; as well as the Asia Four City Forum connecting Taipei with Osaka, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
