The World Architecture Festival is the only annual international architectural event to reward excellence in a fully interactive, inclusive live format. Through its unique entry and judging process and its cutting edge seminar and exhibition content, it is simultaneously a celebration of great architecture and an inspirational intellectual challenge to a major world profession.
This year’s thematic exhibition, Less Does More, is responding to the new world economy by focusing on ways in which designers, manufacturers and constructors can add value to projects by economising on time, energy, finance and materials.

Now in its fourth year, and following the success of last year’s Space at Home, the RIBA Research Symposium 2009 Changing Practice turns its attention to the subject of the profession itself at a time when architects have had to look at and question the ways in which they operate.
The keynote will be delivered by Anne Lacaton of Parisian practice Lacaton and Vassal, winner of the 2008 French Grand Prix National de l’Architecture, best known for their projects that extend the social and economic frontiers of architecture.

City Street conference provides a platform for multi-disciplinary interaction and discussion which aims at projecting new perspectives and initiating creative prospects about the city.
The 20th-21st centuries ideologies and technologies, the post-industrial societies, the postmodern cultures, the deconstructivist urbanism and architecture, the multi- media art and graphics, and the cybernetics, all form now the themes in which the city’s street is to be (re)considered.
The “City Street” conference invites international researchers, architects, designers (graphic, interior, media) urbanists, artists, photographers, film makers, geographers, anthropologists, philosophers, and thinkers to present full papers, posters, workshops and projects/exhibitions.
