Albert Dubler was chosen as president of the International Union of Architects for the 2011-2014 triennial period. His election took place at the end of the UIA general assembly held in Tokyo, Japan, from 29 September to 1st October 2011. He succeeds Australian architect Louise Cox in this post.

Albert Dubler has been in private practice in Strasbourg since 1988. From the beginning he has been a strong advocate of sustainable development in France and Europe, and this commitment grew into the defense of responsible architectural design on the global level. He has upheld these ideals as a member of the Council of the French Order of Architects (CNOA), and as Vice-President of the UIA French section, the International Council of French Architects (CIAF). He has participated in the work of the UIA Professional Practice Commission since 2005, and became a UIA Vice-President in 2008. He was, alongside Louise Cox, among the actors of participation by the UIA and the world's architects in the United Nation's climate change conferences COP15, in Copenhagen in 2009, and COP16, in Cancun in 2010.

Albert Dubler has placed his mandate under the signs of responsible architecture, recognized architecture, and fair architecture.
