Information Based Architecture (IBA) is a partnership between architects Mark Hemel and Barbara Kuit, set up in London in 1998.[1]

The practice specializes in large-scale architectural and urban projects. It designed the Canton Tower, also called the 'Guangzhou TV astronomical and Sightseeing Tower'.[2][3]

In 2002 they were short listed for the Young Architects of the Year Award in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] They have received support by the Dutch Department of Trade and Industry and received several encouragement-grants by the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture.[citation needed]

Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, IBA continues its work on both large and small projects in Europe and Asia. The work includes urban master-planning, architecture, landscaping and furniture design.[citation needed]
