The 25th International Union of Architects World Congress of Architects, UIA 2014 Durban, will be held at the International Convention Centre in Durban from 3-7 August 2014. The UIA is a non-governmental organization accredited by the United Nations, and it represents professional associations of architects in 124 countries, and approximately 1,3 million architects worldwide.
The Congress theme is ‘ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE’, and the intention is to acknowledge the built environment as a major force that can be harnessed towards a better life for all.
As part of this they will be running a Parallel Project Programme. The intention of the Parallel Project Programme is to expand the scope of the UIA 2014 Congress and use the event as a platform for furthering conversations around the Congress themes and pertinent built environment issues, as well as to showcase South African talent and achievements to an international audience.
Project submissions close 15 February 2014.
Submission forms must be completed online at http://www.uia2014durban.org.
