Níall giving the keynote lecture for FRAME 25 in Goa

September 2025

On the 2nd October Níall will be giving a keynote lecture as part of FRAME 25 in Goa. FRAME is instituted as an independent, biennial professional conclave on contemporary architecture in India curated by Matter and organised in partnership with Takshila Educational Society. The event will engage with the question of DRAWING as an act of authorship that is both reflective and projective. Over three days of films and lectures, the conclave will deliberate on the multiple and diverse approaches towards the one central idea at the core of creative practice: 'To Draw'.

Arch-ive Interview

June 2020

On Tuesday 23rd June at 19.00, Arch-ive will be speaking to Níall McLaughlin about the literature that has influenced his practice, as part of the Architecture Foundation’s ‘100 Day Studio’.

Arch-ive is an online platform that investigates the books that have been influential to leading practitioners. It aims to showcase architects’ relationship to books and the way they utilise, interrogate, and display architectural resources.

The ‘live’ interview will take a slightly different format, focusing on specific buildings completed by Níall McLaughlin and the literature that surrounded their investigation. The discussion will focus initially on the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin and Níall McLaughlin Architect’s work at the 2016 Venice Biennale, ‘Losing Myself’. Secondly, the conversation will focus on three projects from Níall’s early career, ‘The Shack’, ‘Phototropic’, and ‘Wandsworth House’. Finally, we will discuss ‘Bishop Edward King Chapel’ in Oxford.
