Architecture Fringe 2027
Scotland's biennial festival of architecture, design and the built environment, taking place at venues across the country with the 2027 theme The Public Life of Home
Location: Venues across Scotland, organiser based in Glasgow
Date: 4 June 2027 to 20 June 2027
Architecture Fringe 2027 runs from 4 June 2027 to 20 June 2027 at venues across Scotland. Run by the Architecture Fringe CIC, based in Glasgow, it describes itself as Scotland’s Festival of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment, held nationwide every two years with smaller events in between. The organisation says it exists to promote architecture for the common good.
The 2027 theme is The Public Life of Home, subtitled Architectures of Belonging. It asks what architecture might become if its starting point were the building of belonging rather than the production of property, taking in housing as social infrastructure, repair over replacement and reconnecting domestic life with the land. The festival is supported by Creative Scotland through National Lottery funding, the Scottish Government and Patreon supporters.
Housing is a live question in Scottish architecture and policy, and the 2027 theme puts the festival squarely on it. For architects in Glasgow and across Scotland it is the main fortnight of public debate about the built environment, and the venues, programme and any open call are still to be announced.
