For this purpose, it wishes to highlight architectural, landscaping and urban initiatives and projects that promote the construction of a high-quality built environment and a sense of community living. Based on the principle that architectural culture is something which concerns everyone, the ICA wishes to create a meeting place for all architecture-related professions, citizens and commissioners, since they are all actors and users of the territory.

The ICA thus wants to form the core of architectural culture in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation with the aim of creating a leading cultural network for architecture in the FWB and to encourage its development. It records all activities related to architectural culture in the FWB.

The ICA is not one place, but places. It moves around, goes to meet the actors of the territory and stimulates this cultural network through a series of exhibitions, installations, visits, symposiums, workshops and activities.
