About us
Who we are
INTBAU is a global network dedicated to creating better places to live through traditional building, architecture, and urbanism. Established in 2001, we have since gained nearly 40 chapters and 9,000 members worldwide. Our Royal Founding Patron is The former Prince of Wales.
INTBAU’s mission is to improve the places where people around the world spend their lives, in the belief that traditional architecture builds communities, helps individuals identify with their surroundings, and offers an inherent form of sustainability based on local knowledge of materials, climates, and contexts.
