The Media Architecture Biennale 2023 (MAB23) is a week-long event featuring keynotes, workshops, symposia, panels, awards, and exhibitions.

The event aims to offer a platform for communities of research and practice concerned with media and the built environment. MAB23 will bring together students, academics, and professionals from architecture, art, design, urban planning, media, and public policy to share new ideas and shape this evolving field. Together, they explore the design and role of media in architecture and its implications for urban communities and ecosystems.

The event attracts approximately 400 people every two years. It features keynotes, academic and industry roundtables, symposia, workshops, exhibitions, an awards ceremony, and a gala dinner.

The Media Architecture Biennale 2023 will have a hybrid format, taking place online June 14-15, then later on June 21-23 in person in Toronto.

Previous MABs have been held in Amsterdam/Utrecht (2020), Beijing (2018), and Sydney (2016). MAB23 Toronto will be the first time the event comes to North America.
