naoh serves as a collaborative research vehicle facilitating knowledge-sharing between academic institutions in different cities, involving industry, public bodies and local communities, to celebrate and develop the evolving and shared heritage of humanity

since 2017, the naoh initiative is taking part in developing the network ‘sawh’ (schools of architecture/world heritage) with its partner schools – this development was initiated by bordeaux schools of architecture (thierry jeanmonnod, chantal callais and gauthier bolle) with james white, on the back of their successful partnership in naoh events
