IAI as a professional organization of architects in Indonesia has an important role in realizing the progress of thinking and competence of professional architects who can compete in the increasingly advanced technological era. Thus, exhibitions such as ARCH:ID are a concrete manifestation that the necessary forum for exchanging various architectural knowledge and experiences is well available.

"ARCH:ID is a platform for place makers to meet, establish and foster networks, and a space where Indonesian architectural stakeholders from upstream to downstream build together architecture as part of civilization," said Georgius Budi Yulianto, Chairman of IAI.

In organizing the third ARCH:ID, the curatorial team consisting of Wendy Djuhara, Maria Rosantina, and Andy Rahman, invited architects and related industry players to think and reflect on "identity" in architecture. This concept is the root of the discourse during the event.

"In Indonesia itself, to build a new capital city and other areas, we need to dig deeper to understand the essence of our culture and architectural identity so we can take the right steps into the future," said Wendy Djuhara explaining the objectives of the theme raised.

ARCH:ID will be filled with two core programs namely exhibitions and conferences. The exhibition is held with architectural and design concepts that represent certain issues, while the international conference invites global and local speakers from across disciplines with various perspectives.
