10-04-2025 Architect and Programme Coordinator

Sharjah Architecture Triennial (SAT) is a regional platform for architecture from West and South Asia to North and East Africa. Physically anchored in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, with Al Qasimiyah School as a main venue, it aims to engage diverse audiences and stakeholders at the neighbourhood, host city and regional levels in a collective conversation on architecture. SAT programming opens new space for critical reflection through exhibitions, publications, research, public programmes, and community-based activities, in addition to Triennial editions. Taking an expanded view of architecture and welcoming multi-disciplinary approaches, SAT extends from local to international contexts in order to question the social and environmental across multi-scalar social, cultural, and economic perspectives.
