DECEMBER 2025: INTA CONFERENCE / DESIGN COMPETITION

DECEMBER 5-7, 2025

Honolulu, Hawai‘i (USA)

Co-organized by University of Florida, National University of Singapore, and SHADE Institute

iNTA invites scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community advocates to submit research papers, case studies, and innovative solutions addressing critical housing challenges specific to tropical regions. The conference is rooted in the recognition that tropical and subtropical areas face some of the world’s most urgent issues, including impacts of natural disasters, social disparities, and economic inequality. The conference theme emphasizes the need for integrative approaches across architecture, housing policy, urban planning, and engineering and the necessity for context-sensitive, climate responsive, and socially responsible approaches to housing and urban development in the tropics.
