RIBA International Conference 2007 Entente Cordiale
The world's leading architects, engineers and artists, will be participating in the Royal Institute of British Architects' (RIBA) annual conference in Paris.

Entitled "Entente Cordiale", the event will take place on 26-27 October 2007 at Oscar Niemeyer's headquarters of the French Communist Party - a building rarely opened to the public and the architect's favourite European project.

The conference will explore the concept of "collaboration" - between architects on major projects; between architects internationally; between architects and other members of the consultancy team; and between architects and artists.

Confirmed speakers include architects Jean Nouvel, Rafael Vinoly, Will Alsop, Odile Decq, Mike Davies, Roisin Henegen, Spencer de Grey, Ellen van Loon (OMA), Sunand Prasad; and artist Bruce McLean.

Other names will be announced shortly.
