About The Festival of Architecture
The Delta Festival of Architecture (DFA) 2026 is a three-day platform celebrating architectural excellence, innovation and climate-responsive design in Bangladesh. Organized by ARCHICONNECT and CEMS-Global, in strategic partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the festival will take place from 12–14 November 2026 at ICCB, Dhaka.
At its heart is the Delta Award for Architecture—a rigorously judged recognition programme celebrating outstanding architectural work and the people shaping Bangladesh’s built environment. Alongside the Award Gala, DFA will feature Knowledge Sessions, Design Idea Showcasing, Focus Group Discussions, project exhibitions and professional networking.
Inspired by Bangladesh’s river-delta identity, DFA aspires to become an enduring national platform for contextual, sustainable and culturally resonant architecture.
