Connections, diversity, integration, resilience, sustainability, responsibility, humility; these
are the principles that will guide the dynamic, challenging and inspiring debates during the
UIA Congress in Durban (3-7 August 2014)

 

One of the foremost ambitions of the UIA congress is to promote the idea that the city is an
ecosystem at the service of all segments of the population. Scientific papers will illustrate
the congress theme:
“ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE” and the three sub-themes:

. ECOLOGY encompassing the notions of time, evolution, systems, and environment.
. VALUES, notably those related to professional practice and architectural education.

Abstracts, written in English, must not exceed 300 words and must not include any

criteria:
