UIA2011 TOKYO
In this autumn 2011, Japan will host the 24th World Congress of Architecture UIA2011. The UIA World Congress is a major international event that attracts around 10,000 architects, engineers, researchers, students and others from some 130 countries and regions. The inaugural World Congress took place in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1948. Since then the event has been held in various cities at intervals of approximately three years. The first World Congress in Asia was held in Beijing in 1999. This year Tokyo will become the second Asian host city. The environment, communities, people Contemporary architecture is intimately linked to all activities on the planet and has a significant influence on those activities. In the 21 st century, architecture will be called upon to fulfill an even greater role and responsibilities in the creation of sustainable societies and attractive cities, and in the protections of human life and lifestyles. This is why DESIGN 2050 has been chosen as the theme for UIA2011. UIA2011 will bring together architects, engineers, researchers and students from every part of the world to create a vision for the future of architecture and cities, and to share the results of that work with the world. Japan has an international reputation for excellence in architecture design, construction technology and environmental technology. This is reflected in the steadily growing number of architects, engineers and researchers from other countries who are active in Japan. Hosted by Japan, a country where architecture is evolving beyond the barriers of nationality, ethnicity, religion and language, the 2011 UIA World Congress in Tokyo will be a touchstone of diving the future of global architecture. In addition to presentations by some of the worlds leading architects, the program for UIA2011 will also include technical sessions, international competitions, exhibitions, workshops, tours and many other activities. UIA2011 will be a highly significant event for the future of architecture. It will also be an excellent opportunity to experience the architecture and culture for which Japan is world-renowned. We look forward to seeing you at UIA2011 in Tokyo.

Main Theme

DESIGN 2050
Contemporary architecture is intimately linked to all activities on the planet and has a significant influence on them. In the 21st century, architecture will be called upon to fulfill an even greater role and responsibilities in the creation of sustainable societies and attractive cities, and in the protection of human life and lifestyles.

Sub-Theme
That is why DESIGN 2050 has been chosen as the main theme for UIA2011 TOKYO with three sub-themes: Environment, Cultural Exchange and Life. The upcoming congress will bring together architects, engineers, researchers and students from every part of the world to create a future vision of architecture and cities of 2050 and beyond.

Environment
We will look at a wide range of environmental issues, including not only topics relating to the creation of a low-carbon society, such as global warming and energy, but also natural disasters, including tsunami and earthquakes, and the programs of water and architecture. This is a field in which Japan has built a substantial body of technology and has the opportunity to lead the world by presenting a clearly defined stance.

Cultural Exchange
We will debate the future of economic activities, cities, transportation and other facets of the global Internet-linked information society. We will also focus on wide-ranging cultural aspects of the information society, including cityscapes, historical heritage, cultural exchange and education.

Life
This sub-theme will encompass a wide variety of topics relating to life and lifestyles in the 21st century, including explosive world population growth, demographic aging and birthrate decline in developed countries, the diversity of urban lifestyles, the role of agricultural and fishing communities, and health care. We will also focus on biodiversity and other issues affecting life on Earth.

Theme Sessions Towards a New Environmentcoordinator / Masao Koizumi

How can we create an environment that cradles human bodies and has an affinity with its surroundings? How is our view of our immediate environment linked to todays major concern, the global environment? Focusing on the Surface which is the contact point between our bodies and the surrounding environment, we will study the potential of architecture as a device to regulate our immediate environment, together with various specialists from domains such as apparel and landscaping, etc.

City 2.0 of TomorrowCoordinator / Ryuji Fujimura Since 1990s, globalization of the economy and implementation of the information infrastructure have been drastically restructuring urban space. Simultaneously, the world population has grown, the gulf between rich and poor, urban and rural has widened and energy consumption has been continuously increasing. In this session, making the most of the knowledge and technologies acquired through informatization, we will explore methodologies to re-distribute our limited resources and design a sustainable society. Notes on the Synthesis of LifeCoordinator / Hiroshi Ota Historically, both nature and human life have been fountains of our imagination and also the wombs of our man-made world. We will consider how contemporary cutting-edge technologies that could reach that mystery and its wisdom are affecting architecture, art and design. The panelists are specialists in materials, structure and meteorology, who will describe nature from the perspective of their own domains. (Currently in the process of selecting the final one from The Americas, taking geographical balance into account.) The Hope and Life of Great World CitiesCoordinator / Yasuaki Onoda Global economic progress has eroded regional autonomous economic spheres and also has demolished the intimate links between economy, life and habitation in the sphere ruthlessly; e.g. acute polarization such as gated communities and the homeless in developed countries, slums and refugees in developing countries, both of which are phenomena of constant deprivation of a humans right to a domicile. In this session, confronting those issues with sincerity, we will discuss the possibilities with regard to how to realize the desires for a domicile in the design of areas for habitation. Delirious ResponsibilitiesCoordinator / Osamu Tsukihashi Our society is currently in the midst of a global transformation and globalization of the economy, information and culture are progressing. Now that new types of social activists, such as philanthropists and social entrepreneurs, are being coveted, the roles and formats of contributions expected from architects and designers are diversifying. We will delve into the new image of architects in the 21st century, reflecting on the achievements in reconstruction activities in the aftermath of natural disasters and civic movements related to environment creation, etc.

Theme Exhibition
2050 EARTH CATALOG exhibition Under the theme of DESIGN 2050 at UIA2011 TOKYO, it will be held 2050 EARTH CATALOGUE exhibition to gather together current knowledge and wisdom to create a vision of society in 2050.

Main Exhibitions
Archineering Design Exhibition (Architectural Institute of Japan)
The Archineering Design Exhibition has been named in recognition of engineering design that supports the design and production of architecture, hence the term Archineering Design (AND). It encompasses the relationship between art, architecture and engineering, providing a look at historical developments as well as providing pointers for the future. The main feature of the exhibition is models. From world heritage architecture to the latest cutting edge designs, various mechanisms and methods are deconstructed so that as many people as possible from the smallest child to expert architects can enjoy the exhibition and consider the future of architectural world heritage.

Metabolism Exhibition (Mori Art Museum)

Metabolism is the most globally well-known Japanese architectural movement, which is renowned for its various proposals for urban city planning. Mori Art Museum will open a large-scale exhibition that will give a broad perspective on the entire metabolism movement. Given the increasing global momentum in recent years towards a review of the metabolism movement, the exhibition will not seek to present a comprehensive picture of all developments, but instead will aim to revive an image of the original tenets of metabolism by taking a broad view that looks at its temporal context and content.

Heritage of the Future Exhibition (DOCOMOMO Japan)

In line with the overall theme of UIA2011TOKYO Design 2050, this exhibition will seek to convey the presence and appeal of Japanese modernist architecture to all visitors, including overseas architects, Japanese architecture experts and the general public.

Over time, the UIA has become an accomplished non-governmental organization, an incomparable professional network of architects that reaches all continents. The UIA is a federation of national professional organizations called Member Sections.

Three key activities and work programs

Through its commissions, the UIA contributes in three key fields, architectural education, professional practice and international competition, to the improvement of architecture and the architectural profession worldwide. The main venue of UIA2011 TOKYO, Tokyo International Forum, was designed by the world renowned architect, Rafael Vinoly, the winner of the UIA International competition. Within the framework of the UIA work programs, a full range of specialists delve into specific aspects of the architect's intervention in society and the built environment. 14 global work programs are structured according to six general themes: Sustainable Architecture, Architecture and Society, Urbanization, Habitat, Cultural Identity and Facilities.

Privileged network and partners

The UIA works in co-operation with high-ranking organizations around the world. International institutions of UNESCO, UN-HABITAT, UNEP, UNECE, UNIDO, WHO, WTO and IOC, officially recognize the UIA as the only organization in the field of architecture. The UIA also develops interdisciplinary relations with non-governmental organizations such as ISOCARP, IFLA, ICOMOS, ISC20 and DOCOMOMO.

UIA Gold Medals and UIA Prizes

The UIA Gold Medal and Prizes are awarded every three years during the UIA World Congress. The prestigious Gold Medal was initiated by the UIA Council in 1984, to honor an architect or group of architects having distinguished themselves through their work and professional practice by the quality of services rendered to man and society. The UIA Gold Medal has ever been awarded to nine architects including two Japanese architects, Fumihiko Maki in 1993 and Tadao Ando in 2005. The UIA Prizes such as The Sir Patrick Abercrombie Prize, The Auguste Perret Prize and The Jean Tschumi Prize are dedicated to the memory of one of the early Presidents of the Union.
