About Region II

Written by Administrator

The UIA Region II covers the Eastern European countries and the countries of the Middle East. This unique regional body of UIA bridges two continents and hosts a vast mixture of cultures, cities and people along with their architectural and urban history and contemporary presence. The UIA Region II represents a very important sector of the world's history of Architecture and Urbanism. It is a live and fruitful field of a contemporary architects' dialogue, carrying the symbolic and ancient transcontinental route of exchanging, conflicting and communicating civilizations in both continents Europe and Asia.
