Building on the success of the previous editions in Dubai, the 3rd Desert Architecture MENA Forum returns with a stronger regional focus on advancing climate-responsive, sustainable and resilient architecture across the Middle East and North Africa.
As cities across the region continue to grow, the Forum will bring together government authorities, project owners, developers, leading architects, urban planners, consultants, contractors and technology providers to explore how architecture can respond to extreme climates while supporting sustainability, cultural identity and long-term resilience.
Through high-level discussions, project case studies and technical presentations, the Forum will address passive design and cooling, sustainable materials, resilient façades, adaptive reuse, landscape and public realm, water and energy efficiency, net-zero design and the integration of regional heritage with contemporary architecture.
