Building on the success of the previous editions in Dubai, the 3rd Desert Architecture MENA Forum returns with a stronger regional focus on advancing climate-responsive, sustainable and resilient architecture across the Middle East and North Africa.
As cities across the region continue to grow, the Forum will bring together government authorities, project owners, developers, leading architects, urban planners, consultants, contractors and technology providers to explore how architecture can respond to extreme climates while supporting sustainability, cultural identity and long-term resilience.
Through high-level discussions, project case studies and technical presentations, the Forum will address passive design and cooling, sustainable materials, resilient façades, adaptive reuse, landscape and public realm, water and energy efficiency, net-zero design and the integration of regional heritage with contemporary architecture.

"The forum plays an important role in bringing together heritage professionals, architects, urban planners, designers, and placemakers under one roof. In our industry, many disciplines often work independently, creating unintentional silos. This platform successfully breaks those barriers and creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue. The discussions around cultural identity, sustainability, and human-centric design are particularly valuable, helping us better understand how architecture can respond to both local heritage and future aspirations. It is a forum that genuinely contributes to shaping the future of our cities and communities."
Director of Cultural Heritage Protection, Qatar Museums
