Muscat – The Architecture Revival Initiative, organised by the office of  H H Sayyid Bilarab bin Haitham al Said, is set to commence next Wednesday at the Oman Across Ages Museum in Wilayat of Manah and will run until February 22, 2025.

Building on the success of the Bilarab bin Haitham Award for Architectural Design and the Oman Pavilion design competition for Expo Japan 2025, the initiative aims to enrich the architectural landscape of the Sultanate of Oman. It seeks to engage professionals, experts, students, and enthusiasts in meaningful discussions on architectural identity, innovation, and market readiness.

The initiative aspires to raise awareness of the role of architecture in shaping Oman’s national identity, encourage public interest in Omani architecture, and explore its cultural, social, and economic impact. Additionally, it will highlight modern construction techniques that merge innovation with heritage, fostering a supportive environment for creativity and career development in the architectural sector.

Over three days, the initiative will focus on continuing education, innovation, and market readiness, aiming to equip architectural professionals and students with industry-relevant insights. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and activities designed to strengthen Oman’s architectural scene and expand employment opportunities in the sector.

The event is open to all individuals interested in architectural design and heritage, offering a platform for dialogue, learning, and professional networking.
