Global Architecture Exchanges Topic 2 – The relationships between architecture and culture: perspectives from across the Globe

The Global Architecture Exchanges are a unique online series of talks brought to you by the RIBA in collaboration with other professional institutes of architects across the world. Join us for topic 2 - The relationships between architecture and culture: perspectives from across the Globe

Is the culture of each society identified through its manifestations such as language, art, and architecture; or is architecture a product of the culture that it was designed for?

Join us and explore these ideas through the Global Architecture Exchanges Topic 2 – The relationships between architecture and culture: perspectives from across the globe.
