UIA2011 TOKYOIn this autumn 2011, Japan will host the 24 th World Congress of ArchitectureUIA2011.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 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 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 ProgramsKeynote SpeechesSpecial Guest LecturesThe above-mentioned. Please refer to the pages for Keynote Speakers, Speakers for SpecialGuest Lectures and others.

Theme SessionsTowards a New Environmentcoordinator / Masao KoizumiHow 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 today s majorconcern, the global environment? Focusing on the Surface which is the contact pointbetween our bodies and the surrounding environment, we will study the potential ofarchitecture 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 FujimuraSince 1990s, globalization of the economy and implementation of the information

infrastructure have been drastically restructuring urban space. Simultaneously, the worldpopulation has grown, the gulf between rich and poor, urban and rural has widened andenergy consumption has been continuously increasing. In this session, making the most ofthe knowledge and technologies acquired through informatization, we will exploremethodologies to re-distribute our limited resources and design a sustainable society.

Notes on the Synthesis of LifeCoordinator / Hiroshi OtaHistorically, 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-edgetechnologies that could reach that mystery and its wisdom are affecting architecture, artand design. The panelists are specialists in materials, structure and meteorology, who willdescribe nature from the perspective of their own domains. (Currently in the process ofselecting the final one from The Americas, taking geographical balance into account.)

The Hope and Life of Great World CitiesCoordinator / Yasuaki OnodaGlobal 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 constantdeprivation 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 adomicile in the design of areas for habitation.

Delirious ResponsibilitiesCoordinator / Osamu TsukihashiOur 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 ofcontributions expected from architects and designers are diversifying. We will delve into thenew image of architects in the 21st century, reflecting on the achievements in reconstructionactivities in the aftermath of natural disasters and civic movements related to environmentcreation, etc.
