SUMMARY:Madinah International Architecture Festival 2026 (MIAF 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The first edition of the Madinah International Architecture Festival (MIAF 2026) takes place from 9–12 December 2026 at the King Salman International Convention Center in Madinah. Organised by the Madinah Region Development Authority under the patronage of HRH Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud\, Governor of Al-Madinah Region\, the festival is framed by the theme Shaping the Future of Cities and brings together architects\, international design firms\, developers and industry experts. The programme opens with a Gala Dinner on 9 December. On 10 December\, the Madinah International Architecture Forum includes the announcement of the winners of an international design ideas competition associated with the festival. The Architecture Firms Exhibition and Madinah Urban Pavilion run from 10–12 December\, while AI in Architecture workshops are scheduled for 11–12 December. Madinah gives the festival a particularly relevant urban setting. The central area around Al-Masjid an-Nabawi has long been governed by dedicated building controls covering massing\, heights\, setbacks\, and facade materials and colours. More recent public-space projects have focused on humanising streets around the central area through pedestrian movement\, shade\, planting\, seating and improved visitor access. The city also established what the Madinah Region Development Authority describes as Saudi Arabia’s first local urban observatory. ArchUp PerspectiveFor a first edition\, MIAF 2026 has a strong architectural premise because the host city itself can function as part of the discussion. Madinah offers a live case study in heritage-sensitive regulation\, high-intensity visitor movement\, public-realm design and the ongoing negotiation between sacred urban identity and contemporary growth.
