Curating Architecture is a symposium organised by the Irish Architecture Foundation, the School of Architecture UCD and Art in the Contemporary World NCAD, as part of the Dublin launch of the Irish participation at the Venice Architecture Biennale exhibition, of de Blacam and Meagher.

The symposium will examine how exhibitions can communicate not just literal and concrete properties (archive, material and artefact), but also the invisible, and even the intangible qualities of architecture (experience, emotion and fiction).  

Using of de Blacam and Meagher as a starting point, a national and International panel of curators, artists and architects, are invited to re-examine the challenges of defining architectural representation and exhibition, and to propose new directions and possibilities for curating within the practice of architecture and art itself.
