About AIB

In its educational work, AiB is committed to a humanistic and holistic educational ideal. It counts among its guiding values the effort to deal responsibly with nature and natural resources, the advocacy of an open society, and in particular the respect for freedom of thought, science and art.  
AiB is an international academic forum that brings people and cultures together and enables them to engage in an open exchange with a view to social perspectives for the future.

“As a faculty member, the AIB team always amazes me in how many of the details they take care of so that I can do what I love to do – to teach students in an immersive environment about culture, place and the design of our built environment.”
