Join the Society of Architectural Historians in Mexico City, April 15–19, 2026, for an immersive, in-person experience, with paper sessions, events at off-site venues, and guided architecture tours in and around the city. Attendees can look forward to connecting with colleagues at social receptions, meeting publishers in the exhibit area, and conversing between sessions, all valued moments at the face-to-face conference.

 

Call for Sessions

The Society invites everyone interested in the history of the built environment to submit a proposal to chair a session at the conference. Since the principal purpose of the SAH Annual International Conference is to inform conference attendees of the general state of research in architectural history and related disciplines, session proposals covering every period in the history of architecture and all aspects of the built environment, including landscape and urban history, historic preservation and cultural heritage are welcome. The scope is global.

SAH is pleased to publish the Call for Sessions and the upcoming Call for Papers in both English and Spanish. Session proposals and papers should be submitted and presented in English.
