Organizing Entities

The Traditional Building Cultures Foundation seeks to foster and promote the study, protection, teaching, dissemination and conservation of the traditional building, architecture and urbanism characteristic of the various regions of the world. Founded in Madrid in 2023, it will give continuity to all the initiatives that have been organized in Spain since 2012 thanks to the support of the American philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus, initially with the collaboration of the School of Notre Dame, and from 2017 in collaboration with INTBAU. These initiatives include the Rafael Manzano Prize for New Traditional Architecture, the Spanish Network of Traditional Building Crafts Masters, the Richard H. Driehaus Building Arts Awards and Architecture Competition, the Journal of Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism, the Donald Donald Gray Grants, and a large number of publications, exhibitions, summer schools, workshops and other activities.
