Sharjah Architecture Triennial Set to Explore Impermanence and Adaptability in Architecture

The Sharjah Architecture Triennial, known as SAT, is renowned for being a vital platform focusing on architecture and urbanism across a vast region covering West Asia, South Asia, and the African continent. Anchored in Sharjah, UAE, SAT aims to foster inclusive dialogue on architecture at different scales, from the neighborhood to the city and regionally.

The upcoming second edition of SAT, scheduled to take place from November 11, 2023, to March 10, 2024, will carry the theme “The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability.” This edition will delve into the dynamic relationship between architecture and adaptability, shedding light on how architecture responds to the evolving needs of society and the environment.

Tosin Oshinowo, a Nigerian architect and designer with a socially responsive approach to architecture, will be the curator for SAT02.
