Perhaps now more than ever before, we are all aware of the built environment that surrounds us, and of the impacts it has on the health of individuals, communities, and the planet. The Architecture of Place, an annual collaborative series co-hosted by the ICAA, INTBAU, and The King’s Foundation, brings together the established and emerging voices working to create a better built future.

The programs are free and open for public registration, and recorded versions of the programs are made available to all.

The ICAA, INTBAU, and The King's Foundation are excited to host the Spring 2024 Architecture of Place series, featuring three practitioners from different countries, backgrounds and points of view: Austin Tunnell (Building Culture, Oklahoma City, OK, USA), Mamdouh Sakr (King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts, Cairo, Egypt), and Joachim Tantau (Artist, Hamburg, Germany).
