Tbilisi Architecture Forum 2026 Announces "Places in Transition"
Tbilisi, Georgia — Tbilisi Architecture Forum (TAF) 2026 will take place 18–20 September 2026, bringing together leading international and regional voices in architecture, design, urbanism, and culture for three days of dialogue, exchange, and exploration.
Under the theme Places in Transition, TAF 2026 explores the evolving nature of our cities, landscapes, and communities. Places are never static. They are shaped by social change, technological innovation, climate challenges, shifting identities, conflict, development, and the continuous reinterpretation of heritage.
Rather than focusing solely on creating something new, the forum asks how architecture can question, adapt, preserve, rebuild, and reimagine what already exists. Bringing together leading architects, designers, urbanists, researchers, institutions, and voices from beyond the profession, TAF 2026 will examine how the built environment changes—and how we can shape that change responsibly.
This year's international lineup features some of the world's most influential architects and creative thinkers, including Bob Allies (Allies and Morrison, UK), Keveh Dabiri (OMA, Rotterdam/London), Valentina Ciuffi (Alcova, Italy), Joseph Grima (Alcova, Italy), Luca Bussolino (Carlo Ratti Associati, Italy), Amin Taha (Groupwork, UK), Wei Yap (Wei Yap Architects, Australia/Georgia), Michael Graef (LAND srl, Austria/Italy), Borja Ferrater (OAB–ELIA, Spain), Ada Yvars Bravo (MYAA, Spain/UK), Yevgeniya Pozigun (MYAA, Spain), Marcelina Zielińska (Chapman Taylor, UK), Jack Taylor (A for Architecture, UK), Daren Comber (ScotBrownrigg / Rooms Hotels, UK), Joan Gener González (H3O, Spain), Pablo Senat (Bofill, Spain), Hayk Shahinyan and Ashot Snkhchyan (LFA, Armenia), and with additional speakers to be announced.
