The 15th International Symposium on Asian Architecture Exchange (ISAIA 2026) Paper submission guide
ISAIA is an international symposium co-hosted every two years by the Architectural Institute of Korea (AIK), the Architectural Society of China (ASC), and the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ).
This year, in 2026, the event will be hosted by the Architectural Institute of Korea (AIJ). We look forward to your interest and participation from academia and industry in the architecture and construction fields.
○ Date and Time: October 19 (Monday) - 22 (Thursday), 2026
○ Venue: Daejeon Convention Center (Located in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon)
○ Event Hosts: Architectural Institute of Korea (AIK), Architectural Society of China (ASC), Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ)
○ Event Host: Architectural Institute of Korea (AIK)
○ Event theme: Architecture in the Expanding Age of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to a single domain but is gradually extending its reach across the built environment. It influences not only how architecture is planned, designed, constructed, and maintained, but also how decisions are made and knowledge is shared. As data, computation, and human insight begin to converge, architecture becomes a field where multiple forms of intelligence interact and evolve together. Much like small streams merging into a larger current, individual technologies and disciplines are increasingly interconnected. In this context, architecture is called upon to mediate, integrate, and give form to these expanding relationships. It is now time to explore how architecture can navigate and shape this emerging landscape of intelligence.
