James Law JP

CEO / Founder

James Law is a renowned architect and founder of Cybertecture, a multidisciplinary design firm based in Hong Kong. Born and raised in the city, Law graduated from the University College London, UK with a degree in architecture. Upon his return to Hong Kong, he worked with various architecture firms before founding his own practice, James Law Cybertecture.

The philosophy of Cybertecture, as Law describes it, is "the convergence of architecture, engineering, and technology to create a better world." With this philosophy in mind, Law and his team have designed innovative buildings and structures that aim to solve problems facing humanity.

One of Law's notable projects is The Pad, a residential high-rise in Dubai that features it’s inclined at 6.5 degrees as a leaning tower as a design reference to the original iPod device leaning when standing in its charging dock. Another notable project is the OPod, a low-cost, modular housing solution for the homeless in Hong Kong. The OPod consists of repurposed concrete pipes that are transformed into livable units complete with a kitchen, bathroom, and living space.
Law has also designed The Capital, a commercial development in Mumbai, India that incorporates green spaces and sustainable features.

Law's innovative designs have earned him international recognition. He was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2011, and in 2016 he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong. Law has also been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, including New York Times, CNN, BBC, and Forbes.

In addition to his work as an architect, Law is also an innovator and designer. He has proposed designs for futuristic transportation systems, including the hyperloop, and has created a concept for a "Technosphere", a self-contained city that incorporates renewable energy and waste management systems.

Law's interest in technology has also led him to explore the possibilities of augmented reality and the metaverse. He has designed the Cybertecture Mirror, an interactive mirror that can display information and provide personalized health and wellness recommendations. Law has also appeared as a mentor on the television show "Stars of Science," which features aspiring young inventors from the Middle East and North Africa.

James Law's work as an architect and innovator has had a significant impact on the field of architecture and design. His philosophy of Cybertecture has inspired numerous projects around the world that aim to improve the lives of people and solve the problems facing humanity.
