Today We Celebrate the World Architecture Day

5th October, it’s the official World Architecture Day.

“Architecture, Building and Climate” is the theme of World Architecture Day 2015. The International Union of Architects (UIA) choose the theme to be used in several countries joining the celebrations. The choice is related to COP 21 – international conference to discuss climate change in Paris. (spinabifida.net)
