Who we are

INTBAU was established in 2001, and has since gained 31 chapters and nearly 6,000 members worldwide. We work under the patronage of our founder, HRH The Prince of Wales.

INTBAU’s mission is to support traditional building, the maintenance of local character, and the creation of better places to live. We do this through workshops, summer schools, study tours, conferences, awards, and competitions. Our three objectives are to research, educate, and engage as widely as possible on the value and relevance of traditional architecture and urban design.

INTBAU is a unique, established resource for global knowledge of traditional architecture and urban design. Our active network consists of individuals and institutions who design, make, maintain, study, or enjoy traditional buildings and places.

INTBAU supports the protection of internet privacy as required by UK legislation and recognises that personal privacy is an important issue. INTBAU is legally obliged to comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations 2018.
