The theme for this year’s conference, which is taking place on June 5, 2025, will be “Architecture and International Solidarity | Collaborating Across Borders.” The event, hosted by Architecture Sans Frontières Québec, aims to bring together local and international experts to discuss how architecture can be a lever for resilience and social justice on a global scale. For 17 years, ASFQ has been supporting projects around the world, implemented in a collaborative dynamic to co-design responses adapted to local realities, integrating traditional know-how, innovation and participatory approaches. This approach is part of a growing worldwide movement. “Everywhere, a growing number of organizations and professionals are committing themselves to solidarity-based architecture, across all borders,” reads ASFQ’s website. “But what underpins the importance and legitimacy of such an approach? In a context marked by climatic, social and geopolitical crises, how can architecture contribute to sustainable development, resilience and community well-being? And above all, how can we overcome the historical power struggles between North and South, and ensure a truly collaborative architecture? These are all essential questions that need to be addressed.” Held in person, the event will end with a cocktail reception, offering an opportunity to network with professionals from diverse backgrounds. 400 participants are expected to attend the June 5 gathering, which follows at the end of the annual conference of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canadain Montreal.
