The International Conference of the Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design (AILCD 2026) will be held from February 27 to March 1, 2026, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The conference aims to bring together researchers, designers, engineers, planners, and policymakers to explore the future of low-carbon cities and sustainable lifestyles through the integration of design, technology, and urban innovation.

Under the theme “1925: Art Deco + 2025: AI Deco = 2125: A?
