WHAT IS THE ARCHITECTURE FRINGE? The Architecture Fringe was founded in 2015 and launched in 2016 by a group of architects, designers, photographers, engineers, visual artists and curators to encourage public debate about architecture and design in Scotland within its broader socio-political context. The Architecture 2018 will be our third edition of the festival. In 2017 the fringe hosted over 50 projects from around 260 contributirs in 37 venues across Scotland. The Architecture Fringe is a registered non-profit Community Interest Company and is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. WHY AN ARCHITECTURE FRINGE? Why do we do what we do? - 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.
