Architecture at the Edge’s mission is to promote excellence in the built environment and to advocate for responsible architecture.

Architecture at the Edge (AATE) are a Galway based not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of architecture as culture. The leading voice for excellence in the built environment in the west of Ireland, Architecture at the Edge investigates the role and impact of architecture in our lives and the world we live in, demonstrating how design enhances the quality of life, while addressing important issues of society through responsible architecture.

The AATE programme has three strands: The AATE Festival, Design Lab and AATE Summer School.
Each year, the festival explores and presents ideas on the relation between the architectural world and human life through a broad public program of talks, tours, workshops, films, seminars and exhibitions in collaboration with various institutions and [inter]national partners. The festival was designed to allow the public an opportunity to discover the built environment from unexpected perspectives. It also allows an opportunity to interact with one another and to strenghten our sense of place and community.
