Durban 2014

As the Tokyo congress came to a close, the world's architects turned their sights toward Durban, South Africa, for our profession’s next global event. Architecture Otherwhere is the theme that will be both defined and studied in this forum where all points of view will come together, where all voices can be heard, without false consensus or announced revelations. Exploring architecture otherwhere, in other regions, other contexts, other social structures, through other practices; gaining a better understanding of others in order to better understand one's self. In Durban, architects will study the new geography of a world being built, with other preoccupations, other means of expression, other representation models.
