Breakout Session | Join the discussion to create a permanent school for traditional building and architecture

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.

This breakout session will aim to advance the discussion on the future of traditional architecture education. With the help of speakers who are all involved in teaching, we will try to imagine what a true school of traditional architecture might look like, both in terms of form and curriculum.
