SHARE Cyprus International Architecture Forum is the place where architectural leadership connects
Architecture may be born in isolation, but it flourishes through dialogue, the exchange of ideas, and the courage to shape the future. While trends shift and the “fast everything” culture extends even to fields such as design and architecture, the true engine of progress remains people and the communities they create.
On May 15, the SHARE Cyprus International Architecture Forum continues its tradition of high-level dialogue with its 6th edition in Nicosia. Throughout a day of intensive exchange, we will have the honour of seeing on stage leaders of international practice and top experts. They will present landmark projects that redefine the global urban landscape, sustainability, and cultural identity.
The forum is the result of a close partnership between SHARE Architects and leaders of the local professional community, guided by a distinguished organising committee: Constantinos Constanti (President of ETEK), Alkis Dikaios (President of CAA), Christos Christodoulou (SHARE Society Ambassador Cyprus), and Florin Mindirigiu (Co-founder of SHARE Architects). Alongside them, partners and genuine thought leaders such as Muskita Aluminium Industries, Official Partner, are helping transform this forum into a key platform for innovation and strategic networking between architects and the construction industry.
Why should you attend SHARE Cyprus 2026?
Designed as a dynamic networking and learning platform for architects, designers, and professionals in the construction industry, this forum offers the unique opportunity to:
- Gain exclusive insights and discover cutting-edge strategies in master planning and urban regeneration.
- Learn directly from global leaders (Zaha Hadid Architects, BIG, LAVA).
- Explore innovative technical solutions presented by market-leading partners.
- Connect with an exclusive community of decision-makers and visionaries.
An Unmissable Lineup
True to our mission, we’re continuing SHARE’s to bring together practising architects and the leaders of influential firms shaping contemporary architecture. This year, the stage in Nicosia will serve as a forum for creative minds from all corners of the globe to exchange ideas.
Attendees will gain rare insights into the vision of Zaha Hadid Architects through Maurizio Meossi, the mastermind behind major projects such as the NSC Science Center in Singapore
Pushing the boundaries of sustainability, Tobias Wallisser, founder of the visionary LAVA (Germany), will explore the nexus of technology and nature, while Jeremy Smith (Irving Smith Architects, New Zealand) showcases his award-winning timber expertise—highlighting Te Whare Nui o Tuteata, the ‘World Timber Building of the Year.’ The program is rounded out by Giovanni Ferrara (Luca Dini, Italy), who will delve into the nuances of luxury coastal design, and Benjamin Walker of LDA Design (UK), who will champion the vital role of community-centred master planning.
The contemporary architectural landscape will be complemented by the compelling regional perspectives offered by Almotasem Attiyah (Clear Architecture, Saudi Arabia), known for the Yusur Towers; Aida Aydinyan of Storaket Studio (Armenia), with her expertise in multifunctional complexes; and Miruna Pribeagu (Reflex Architecture, Romania), who will illustrate the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality in residential design through the Iris House and House N projects.
A Celebration of Architectural Excellence
Quality architecture is 10% creativity and 90% courage. The courage to envision spaces that enrich the human experience and to innovate. That is why a central moment of the forum on May 15 will be dedicated to recognising the people behind the projects, inviting three of the creative minds who made their mark at the SHARE Architecture Awards 2025 to the stage. These winners represent both the success of individual projects and living proof of the extraordinary potential of contemporary architecture in the region.
- We are honoured to explore the creative journey of Eleni K. Tsolaki (Kyriakos Tsolakis Architects), whose project, the Troodos Observatory, was named Overall Winner. Her project is a model of strategic clarity and sensitivity, demonstrating how a scientific instrument can become a spiritual destination, suspended between earth and sky.
- Joining her, Georgios Kalavas (Agisilaou & Kalavas Architectural Workshop), winner of the Completed Buildings category, will take us through the story of the “Aphrodite” Thematic Trail, a lesson in how architecture can guide visitors through nature and history with understated elegance.
- Last but not least, Pavlos Schizas (MSSM Associates), recipient of an Honourable Mention, will present *The Origami House*. This project is a masterclass in geometric exploration, offering a fascinating dialogue between architectural innovation and the specific urban fabric of Nicosia.
These architects serve as a powerful reminder that excellence is rooted in rigour, passion, and a profound respect for context.
