This ongoing synergy is expected to generate sustainable contributions to the advancement of higher education, the architectural profession, and future community development.
However, the most important achievement of all the SDGs is SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) from this activity, given the numerous discussions on related and aligned projects from this activity.
