Conceiving tradition as an essentially current phenomenon, INTBAU Serbia Chapter was created in 2021 to explore, promote and develop traditional architecture, urbanism, and built heritage. Our mission is to deepen the understanding of traditional architectural solutions, investigate their applicability to contemporary design challenges, and circulate the results among professional and general public members. Recognising tradition as fluid, flexible, everchanging, and inextricable from everyday life – after all, the present is the continuation of the past – our vision is to establish links between the academics, practising architects, and the wider public that will help preserve and shape our built environment for the generations to come. INTBAU Serbia exists to develop an extensive network of practitioners, academics, supporters and authorities, raise public awareness and make substantial changes in education, policy, and practice. In doing so the Chapter promotes a holistic vision of placemaking that encourages beautiful, liveable, peaceful, as well as ecologically and culturally sustainable built environments.
