The 79th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) will be held in Mexico City from
Wednesday, April 15 to Sunday April 19, 2026. 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.
Sessions may be theoretical, methodological, thematic, interdisciplinary, pedagogical, revisionist or documentary in premise and have broadly conceived or more narrowly focused subjects. Sessions that embrace cross-cultural and transnational topics are particularly welcome. Session proposals that focus on Mexico City, Mexico, and Central America, in particular, are encouraged. They may address critical issues in architecture in any period or topics that intersect architecture with archeology, environmental studies, landscape design, and art history.
Session proposals are due by January 9, 2025. The full call for sessions, including session format information and submission guidelines, may be found at https://www.sah.org/2026.
