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'.

Lecture at the Age UK Conference

April 2013

Niall McLaughlin was the invited speaker at the Age UK Conference entitled ‘Later Life: Better Health and Care in Tough Times”. The subject of the talk was the role of the architect in designing for dementia, focusing on insights gain from the design of the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin, as well as the practice’s consultation work for the London Borough of Camden in their design for new residential care homes. The lecture also touched on broader themes of how we develop spatial understanding and language from birth and how this abstract awareness is affected with the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.
