The International Forum for Architecture is a global body functioning as online press, advocacy agent, and spotlight for ambitious architecture. Based out of Toronto, CA and New York, NY, we are a not-for-profit collective of designers, academics, practitioners and design advocates creating and supporting work that advances the cause of progressive and thoughtful architecture.We are an interdisciplinary body composed of leaders and collaborators whose objective is a better work through both collaboration and competition.

Standardization does not only produce aesthetic uniformity, but also progressively erodes personal judgment. The speed at which models consolidate transforms the image into an implicit standard of correctness, reducing the critical distance necessary for building a conscious choice.
BERLUTI ALESSANDRA
Traditional architecture is frequently treated as something to be preserved behind glass, admired for its history but separated from contemporary living. This perspective is particularly misleading when applied to Korean architecture. Hanok, the traditional Korean house, was never a static artifact; it operated as an adaptable spatial system developed over centuries to address practical domestic and environmental demands.
MARIA SEIRI
Most architecture begins through addition. Foundations are laid, walls are raised, and separate materials are assembled into a structure.
