Anticipating the 2011 congress on You Tube and Twitter

The next World Congress of the International Union of Architects will be held in Tokyo, Japan from 25 to 29 September 2011. The UIA General Assembly will take place from 29 September until 1st October 2011.

Design 2050 is the theme of the congress, which is divided into three sub themes: environment, cultural exchanges, and life. The architects of the world are welcome to share their architectural visions for the second half of the century.

The congress’ site now presents a monthly newsletter as a video on You Tube. The first edition introduces the Tokyo International Forum, a flagship building, which will host the Congress. An international competition for the design of the Forum was organised in 1989 with the UIA. Rafael Viñoly won the competition and realised the building, completed in 1996.
