The 2018 and 2019 programmes saw the range and geographical spread of events grow even further, to over 100 events. Over the previous four iterations, the programme has included new artistic work, events, exhibitions, talks, environmental installations, community self-builds and a summer school.
In 2019 Architecture Fringe, the event moved to a biennial model, running every other year with a range of other activities in-between.The event is run by a production team of dedicated volunteers and a wider network of associates, contributors, open programme producers and audiences.
