RIBA Architecture Festival Asia
RIBA Architecture Festival Asia (RAFA) will take place from 16 to 18 December in Shenzhen, China. The event will bring together the region's most influential leading architects, developers, and government representatives to explore cutting-edge ideas shaping the built environment.
The festival programme includes a two-day symposium featuring debates and keynote talks, together with exhibitions, live design reviews, building tours, and an awards dinner.
We will be inviting the practices shortlisted for the Asia Pacific Awards to present their schemes in person at RAFA.
This provides a significant marketing opportunity to showcase your practice and project to a panel of expert judges and attendees from around the world. This will require you to purchase a ticket (at a discounted rate) for RAFA and we encourage you to join us at the Gala Dinner on 18 December when we will announce the winners.
We will be sharing more information about RAFA shortly, please bookmark this page to stay updated.
