About
A Global Dialogue on Architecture & Emerging Tourism
As global architectural communities confront shared challenges of urbanization, cultural continuity, and technological transformation, the need for sustained dialogue across borders has never been greater. The built environment today is shaped as much by emerging tools and evolving pedagogies as by the enduring responsibility to serve people and place. Within this context, knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovative perspectives become essential to reimagining how we design, teach, and build for the future.
Within this premise, the Council of Architecture (CoA), in collaboration with BMS College of Architecture, Design and Planning, Bengaluru, presents the CoA 4th International Conference on Emerging Tourism (INCET 2027) for Architecture, Sustainability, Culture, Heritage and Tourism—fostering dialogue between global architectural communities, academic institutions, and emerging designers.
Bringing together distinguished architects, planners, researchers, and policymakers from across the globe to explore the future of tourism, this platform convenes educators, researchers, and students alike to examine emerging trends reshaping the discipline, and to critically engage the architectural fraternity in conversations that bridge theory and practice, tradition and innovation, and the local and the global.
