Thomas Tsang is Associate Dean (Impact and Communications) for the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong (HK). Thomas founded dehowprojects, a practice that investigates architecture and performance environments, informed by codified conventional practices and resolved by scaffolding experiments drawing on broader histories, narratives, and spatial-material traditions. His currently ongoing research projects include Sounding Architecture (2016–), Soundtecture (2019–), Archaeological Performance (2019–), and Prophecy of Furnitures (2020–).

Thomas' distinguished contributions to education and the arts have been celebrated through numerous accolades, including the Marion O. & Maximilian E. Hoffman Rome Prize, a Civitella Ranieri Fellowship, and both the HKU Outstanding Teaching Award and the Faculty Teaching Award in Architecture, both received in 2024. His leadership is further recognized through a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome (IT) and a Universitas 21 Fellowship at the National University of Singapore (SG), 2025–2026, and at the University of Zurich (CH), 2026–27.
