A new Website for UIA Region II

A new Website for UIA Region II.

A new website dedicated to UIA region II, which regroups the Member Sections in eastern Europe and the Middle East is now online at the following address:
http://www.uia-region2.org

On the site you will find news about the activities of the UIA Member Sections in the region, but its main purpose is to act as a platform where organisations can share and exchange ideas and experiences among architects and organisations, and with the UIA. The Member Sections in region II participate in all the UIA commissions and have created regional work programmes on all the issues addressed in this way. Region II also hosts four of the eleven international work programmes.

Lisa Siola, UIA Vice-President for region II, Greek architect and urban planner, initiated this project and led it to realisation. She introduces the site in these terms:

Because UIA region II brings together two continents, it has a unique charisma and an exceptional richness in terms of civilisation and cultural diversity. This website is a symbolic bridge spanning 30 countries from eastern Europe to the Middle East, and I hope it will be used to share information, ideas, and visions of architecture and urban planning.
