The World Architecture Day is a global celebration held traditionally on the first Monday of October. It was first celebrated by the International Union of Architects in 1985. The date was chosen because it’s the UN’s celebration of World Habitat Day. Each year, the UIA chooses a theme to inspire events and activities. This year’s theme is “Clean environment for a healthy world”.
This theme hopes to provide useful and inspiring elements to the global conversation on the 2030 development agenda. Its main focuses will be housing, public spaces and their connection with climate change. These issues need urgent attention and it’s important to join forces to find both local-specific solutions and global initiatives.
