Purpose

The Vision

IFBE is a place to pause and reflect; a repository of ideas, intent and action. It aims to be a backdrop for different minds to come together and engage with challenges and chances, to work with advocacy and alternatives and to combine creativity with concern.

IFBE seeks to be the plinth that brings people from architecture, design, and the arts to meet with the community. It seeks to work towards unwiring and rewiring our responses and contributions to ever- evolving cultural narratives, both local and global.
