About Us
The International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism, INTBAU, is an international educational charity which works under the Patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales to promote traditional architecture, urbanism and crafts. The central office of the organisation is based in London, United Kingdom. 18 national Chapters of INTBAU are established as independent, affiliated charities in countries around the world.
INTBAU is a world wide organisation dedicated to the support of traditional building, the maintenance of local character and the creation of better places to live. We are creating an active network of individuals and institutions who design, make, maintain, study or enjoy traditional building, architecture and places.
INTBAU's architecture and urban design workshops bring together practitioners, artisans and students. By education and training in traditional architecture, urbanism and the building crafts, we encourage people to maintain and restore traditional buildings, and to build new buildings and places that contribute to traditional environments and improve the quality of life in cities, towns and villages around the world.
INTBAU's 4,000 members are a global force for the continuity of tradition in architecture and building and the promotion of traditional urban design, working to develop programmes taliored to local needs on every continent.
