INTBAU Tunisia was created in 2026 to raise awareness of traditional architecture, urbanism, and crafts within Tunisia and North Africa at large.

Established in cooperation with The New Medina, located in the historical center of Sousse, INTBAU Tunisia strives to revive interest in Tunisian architectural heritage and promote the development of a beautiful and sustainable built environment through the use of local traditions and materials. INTBAU Tunisia will act as a hub of education, cooperation, and practical activities to help ensure the continuity of traditional building craft.

The architecture of Tunisia is truly unique — from the medinas of Sousse, Tunis, and Kairouan, to the vernacular architecture of the south, to the high-quality domestic architecture along the north coast — the country is home to architectural traditions that should be kept alive.

Through conferences, workshops, publications, and educational tours, INTBAU Tunisia will unite local and international experts in the field of traditional architecture and urbanism.

Looking ahead, INTBAU Tunisia aims to develop Summer and Winter Schools offering participants an immersive educational experience in traditional Islamic and vernacular architecture, urban design, and craftsmanship.
