About this Event
Join The King’s Foundation and INTBAU for Sustainable Places: Vernacular Architecture Seminar Series 2026–27, a research project and seminar series exploring the fundamental connection between environmental sustainability and socio-cultural sustainability, as embodied in vernacular architecture.
Between October 2026 and September 2027, eight panel sessions will bring together researchers and practitioners from a range of disciplines to share their work, approaches and insights, developing a common language around the interdependence of environmental and socio-cultural sustainability.
The series will also help set the framework for The King’s Foundation’s PhD Scholarship in Traditional Building & Vernacular Architecture.
Registrations are now open for Session 2: URBAN NATURE
24 November, 5:30 PM London time
With both online and in-person attendance at Bartlett UCL
Session 2 will explore the vernacular character of urban nature – how it reflects local traditions and conditions, how it is cultivated by and for communities, and the effects of urban nature on health and wellbeing. Co-hosting with the Development Planning Unit at UCL Bartlett, we will compare perspectives from Jaipur, Georgetown, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, showing how, in each case, urban nature is generated by people and place.
