About

The International Conference on Architecture and Built Environment (ICABE2026) is the flagship conference of the Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), bringing together scholars, practitioners, and industry leaders to explore how the built environment can respond to rapid global transitions.
