Traditional knowledge offers time-tested solutions to today’s built environment challenges, yet it is missing from most architecture schools worldwide.

To build a better future for people and the planet, the INTBAU network works to create more education opportunities to bring students and practitioners together, aiming to connect more closely with schools, colleges, and practices.

Each year, INTBAU Chapters run education programmes around the world to help bridge this concerning gap.

As part of this effort, a dedicated session at the 5th INTBAU World Congress this October will explore the creation of a permanent school for traditional building, architecture, and urbanism. Led by INTBAU Belgium, the session will unite the shared ambitions of INTBAU education programmes and outline the next steps.

Join the discussion and be part of the collective action. See the full World Congress programme and secure your place.
