Cultural institutions play a vital role in architecture culture by preserving and promoting the heritage and diversity of architectural styles and practices. They curate exhibitions, organize lectures and symposiums, commission publications, and conduct research to educate the public about the significant contributions of architecture to society. By providing access to archives, libraries, and collections of architectural artifacts and documents, cultural institutions help students, researchers, and architects to deepen their knowledge of the discipline, evolve their professional practice, and contribute to intellectual discourse. Moreover, cultural institutions collaborate with architects to design and build public spaces, museums, galleries, and other cultural facilities that reflect the aspirations and values of communities and enhance their quality of life. Hence, cultural institutions serve as crucial mediators between architecture and society, promoting dialogue, innovation, and excellence in the built environment.
