AF2027 | Online November Open Meet-Up!
An Open Meet-ups for the Architecture Fringe 2027 Open Programme. Share ideas. Meet others. Get some help.
The Public Life of Home - Architectures of Belonging | Architecture Fringe Festival 2027 04-20 June 2027 across Scotland and further afield :-)
Home is often imagined as the most private of spaces, a retreat from public life, a shelter, and a place to rest. It’s a place of connection, too - of meaning, of lore; somewhere to return to, and somewhere to belong.
Where and how we live has always been shaped by climate, culture, and circumstance. Today, who gets to live where depends on a great many things, and the architectures of belonging are as varied and diverse as we are. Across the world, the most fundamental of our needs faces challenges in supply, affordability, access, tenure, design and conviviality, affecting villages, towns and cities in every continent.

If you're interested in taking part in the Open Programme for the Architecture Fringe Festival 2027 with a self-directed project of your own please join us! We'll be introducing what The Public Life of Home - Architectures of Belonging means to us, and the meet-ups are a great way of sharing any initial ideas or thoughts for projects or events, meeting other people, and getting some help. We do this by opening up the online space for short presentations or points of discussion, so if you'd like to share early ideas and get some feedback you'd be welcome to share. If presenting isn't your thing, we also use the online chat function, too, if you have any queries or are looking for any help.
We're excited to get going, and look forward to seeing and hearing from you on the night!
Best,
Architecture Fringe team
