Alternative Initiatives is a conference series that examines the influence of politics and economics on architecture situated in various regions of the globe. Held in London, the conference brings together leading economists, politicians, historians and architects to discuss the key architectural, developmental and urban issues of the focal region. 


The goal of the conference is to expand the knowledge of architects, academics, students and the public and to promote debate on the future of the architecture of the regions in question.


The conference series is run by NOUS, the innovative architecture gallery and collaborative based in London, in close collaboration with international academic and institutional partners.
