Summer Assembly 2026

This summer we are calling together participants from across the globe to join us for an immersive summer school, where across five days, guided by five practitioners and practices, we will assemble and explore contemporary architecture, through the prisms of Material, Making, Movement, Maintenance and Myth.

Taking place in Scotland, July 2026. Applications for participants open January 2026.

In order to meet the demands of our rapidly changing environments it is clear that architects and designers need to work increasingly collaboratively, experimentally and compassionately. A new space of education and exchange, the Summer Assembly is a test bed for such practice. One that asks how, through intentionally coming together across disciplines, sharing ideas and experience, we can map out alternative and hopeful futures.

Guided by local and global practitioners, this residential week will invite hands-on engagement with materials and making, while also framing that direct engagement in the context of broader discussions on how and why we practice architecture.
