The Unseen Architecture
Making Visible the Invisible
Temptation of Influence, Feature Documentary Film, Coming soon!
The topic of this year's Architecture at the Edge Festival is centred on the theme of the ‘Unseen’ Architecture. To make visible the often invisible factors that shape space. The 2025 program would like to spotlight architecture that is inspired by or is part of our daily lives by presenting those imperceptible or insignificant little things that surround us, make up our vital environment and influence our way of life in a conscious or subconscious manner.
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.
