Mutual Architecture

Architecture Sans Frontières International is the worldwide umbrella association of 30 national organisations that have committed themselves to architecture with a sense of humanitarian responsibility. In the run-up to the annual general meeting Architektur ohne Grenzen Austria, this year’s host, issues an invitation to an international congress. The projects, carried out worldwide, show how varied and inspirational involvement with responsible architecture can be. The evening will be rounded off with a discussion on the result and challenges and on forwardlooking approaches to ensure the success of the work of AsF.

National organisations of Architecture Sans Frontières from throughout the world present their projects on the themes “exchange of knowledge“, “participative processes“ and “economic, sustainable and personal gain“.
