Current opportunities for architects and built environment professionals in Ireland:
The conference seeks to provoke a wide-ranging debate on the profession’s ethics as a whole – in architectural practice, in the theory of architecture, and in the education of architects. The organisers wish to document best practices and considerations from Ireland and internationally in how architects might deal with various ethical dilemmas in current and emerging challenges, such as climate urgency and AI amongst a myriad of others.
The conference will take place 13-14 March 2025 at the Department of Architecture and Built Environment, The Granary Building, South East Technological University, Waterford, Ireland.
