For over 27 years, SHARE Architects has been a trusted platform, bringing together architects and contractors from the region to foster innovation and collaboration. Now, Georgia is ready to join this international dialogue, hosting some of the most influential names in global architecture. Georgian architects can greatly benefit from the SHARE forums by gaining access to an extensive network of professionals.

These forums provide opportunities to participate in large-scale international discussions and projects in the field of architecture. SHARE Architects emphasizes efficient communication and networking, aiming to discover and harness the untapped potential of architects from Central and Southeast Europe. This initiative strengthens the presence and influence of Georgian architects on both the European and global stages.

We are delighted to organize the first edition of the SHARE International Architecture Forum in Georgia. In the well-established SHARE Architects system, the forum serves as an active platform where diverse contributions converge, productive dialogues spark unexpected ideas, realized concepts become inspirations for new projects, and the intersections of different directions and perspectives outline the complex current sphere of the profession. Through presentations, debates, questions and answers, objective analyses and personal approaches, and from shared concerns to general contemporary issues, an updated image of the field of architecture is formed—a vision that SHARE Architects aims to highlight for the benefit of all participants.”
