Networks of (Ex)Change

In 1928, a group of innovative architects from around the world founded the Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM) to discuss key issues and challenges in urban planning and architecture. Now this year’s conference will feature 20 contributions from researchers from around the world, reflecting on historical examples of international knowledge exchange in architecture and urban planning.

As part of the run-up to the CIAM centenary in 2028, this event marks the beginning of a series of events organised by the Jaap Bakema Study Centre and the gta Archive of ETH Zurich, focusing on international knowledge exchange.

Programme and registration

The 12th annual Jaap Bakema Study Centre conference will take place on 26 and 27 November at the Nieuwe Instituut and TU Delft. Further details of the programme and registration will follow soon.
