Docomomo International is pleased to announce that the 27th World Congress of Architects – UIA2021 RIO is open for registrations.
Due to the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic situation, this time it will be physically hosted in Rio de Janeiro,  18 – 22 July 2021, and there will be also a digital version going from March until July.
The live event in July will also be broadcast digitally to the entire world.

“Organised by the International Union of Architects (UIA) since 1948, the World Congress of Architects will be held for the first time in Brazil.

This is a unique meeting place for professionals and future leaders in Architecture and related fields: an event discussing the future of cities and the city of the future. Leading names in architecture and urban planning will gather together to analyse the global outlook and local issues, drawing up proposals and presenting solutions for enhancing the quality of life, in a fairer and more sustainable world.

The public health crisis currently sweeping the world has highlighted the interdependence of economics, politics, society, the environment, and the city. Like a premonition, this interdependence was underscored in the theme of the 27th World Congress of Architects. More than ever, it is vital to understand that we are living in the same era and sharing the same planet.

There is a good likelihood that this calamity will give rise to City 21: aware of the environment and the climate, seeking good spaces, lessening intra-urban inequalities and focused on citizens.”
