Event Description
Step into a world where creativity meets legacy at the AIA International Conference 2025, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sri Lanka—the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
From the ancient grandeur of Sigiriya Rock Fortress to the refined simplicity of Geoffrey Bawa’s tropical modernism, Sri Lanka showcases centuries of architectural brilliance. With eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a rich landscape teeming with wildlife, the island is a haven for architecture enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike.
Join eminent architects, thought leaders, and peers from around the world gathering in Colombo from 9 to 11 October to explore the theme: ‘The Art Within Architecture’.
Beyond the conference hall, you will set out on specially curated architectural tours to discover some of Colombo’s highlights; you will also have the opportunity to venture further afield from 12 October onwards to encounter the architectural wonders and scenic splendour of Sri Lanka.
Thank you to our sponsors! This conference is made possible in large part through their support.
NB: A dedicated registration channel for Sri Lankan AIA members and friends will open soon.
