Culture, sustainability and economy – Why design matters
The Asia Pacific is a rich collage of cultures and languages – as a collective we share commonalities in our histories and challenges in the past, present and future. How can architecture and design celebrate and amplify the region’s myriad traditions, environments and continual evolution?
This year’s festival will deliver an exciting program of exhibitions, installations, symposia, lectures and workshops that promote architecture’s pivotal role in the culture, sustainability and economy of the Asia Pacific region.
