SABRE Research Centre is delighted to announce it is hosting the All-Ireland Architecture Research Group (AIARG) conference in the Granary campus on 13th – 14th March 2025, exploring the theme of Ethics in Architecture.
The Grafton Architects Freespace manifesto for the 2018 Venice Bienealle explored the theme of “Earth as our client” which underlines that architects’ ethical responsibilities are much broader than the architects’ professional code of conduct. These obligations and responsibilities influence architectural practice broadly and profoundly. The conference will seek responses from architects, scholars, educators, and philosophers to the question about the architect’s actual duties to the environment, heritage, public space, society, and the profession itself.
The conference’s main ambition is to explore ethical aspects in the context of current and emerging challenges, such as climate urgency, AI and others. The organisers wish to document best practices from Ireland and abroad in how architects deal with various ethical dilemmas. The conference will provoke a wide-ranging debate on the profession’s ethics as a whole – in architectural practice, theory of architecture, and education of architects.
