About

We are an independent organisation, founded in 2005, to connect people with architecture. Working island-wide, we bring audiences together to experience, explore and discuss the ways architecture shapes our lives, individually and as communities, as a culture and as a nation. Through festivals, exhibitions, placemaking and learning initiatives, IAF expands knowledge and understanding, sparks new ideas and advances new thinking about the role of architecture and the built environment in our shared future.
