Conceived by the International Union of Architects (UIA), this session fosters a cross-regional dialogue on architectural education, combining a live moderated debate with short video contributions. It invites us to rethink what to value as knowledge, and how to prepare future architects to design not for endless expansion, but for adaptation, regeneration, and survival, responding to a future we can only begin to anticipate.
Speakers:
Regina Gonthier (UIA President), Michele Bonino (Dean, Department of Architecture and Design, Politecnico di Torino), Jelena Milosevic (Vice Dean for Teaching and Student Affairs, Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade), Çiğdem Canbay Türkyılmaz (Rector, Samarkand State University of Architecture and Construction), CHENG Xiaoxi (Vice Dean, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University).
Moderator:
Roberto Pagani (Professor of Architectural Technology and Environmental Design, Politecnico di Torino).
