The UIA and IFLA signed
a co-operation agreement


On 9 October 2006, in Minneapolis, Gaëtan Siew, President of the International Union of Architects (UIA) represented by the UIA Vice president Mauricio Rivero Borrell and Martha Fajardo, President of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) signed an agreement for co-operation between the two organisations.

While recognising the distinct nature and standing of the two bodies and of the professions they represent, the UIA and IFLA want to contribute to the development of the role of architecture and that of landscape architecture in order to reinforce the importance of the context of the built environment and enhance the quality of life for human beings.
The UIA and the IFLA will encourage initiatives that support the professional needs of their respective members and their joint aspirations.

A UIA-IFLA Liaison Committee will prepare plans and make recommendations to be submitted to their respective Councils to further define and develop this collaboration. Each organisation will invite the counterpart organisation to be officially represented at the main events of common interest undertaken by them.
