Architecture 2026: Home Truths

The Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA) invites you to attend its annual conference “Architecture 2026: Home Truths” on 26 March 2026 at Riddel Hall, Queen’s University Belfast.

The architecture of our homes is fundamental to how we live. Do it well, we thrive. Do it poorly, we invite problems.

This conference will delve into the architecture of the home in its many guises – from the rural, to the village, to the town, into suburbia and our city centres.

We are assembling a range of contributors from across the UK and Ireland and beyond to create a day which is thought-provoking, challenging, stimulating and inspirational.

The conference will also be a day for conversation, for meeting and hearing from others who share a passion for housing, for design excellence, for enabling lives full of health and happiness.
