Níall will be speaking at the RIAI Conference on 11th and 12th October at the RDS Dublin – the largest architectural conference and networking event in Ireland. This year’s theme Collaboration puts a spotlight on the collaborative nature of architecture, as well as highlighting that the challenges we are facing – climate change, affordable housing and the need for liveable cities and towns – can only be solved through collaboration.
