mission statement


Why an Architecture Fringe?

- to support new work and emerging practice in architecture in Scotland

- to develop a friendly but critical community of voices to connect, support and challenge each other

- to offer a platform to encourage a wider conversation about architecture and design in Scotland in a contemporary socio-political context

- to engage internationally with other people and organisations

We hope you'll join us!

Architecture Fringe is open to everyone, and we’re currently making changes! We hope you’ll join us on this journey and can read more about it here.

The very first Architecture Fringe opened on Friday 1st July 2016. The 2017 programme hosted work from around 260 contributors over 50 projects in 37 venues. The 2018 programme saw the range and geographical spread of events grow even further. Over the three years the programme has included new artistic work, events, exhibitions, talks, environmental installations, community self-builds and a summer school.
