IAF to host European Architecture Institutions Collective (EAIC) Dublin 2026

We look forward to welcoming architecture institutions and organisations from across Europe to Dublin on Friday 20 November for the second gathering of the EAIC.

Hosted by IAF in partnership with the Office of Public Works and the National Built Heritage Service of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, EAIC Dublin is an official event of Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union and forms part of Value for Many, a wider programme exploring architecture's contribution to society and public life.

Intro/hook from the webpage goes here...

Notes: 1) This block and the empty Featured image block are currently hidden. To hide or unhide a layout, click the Settings (sliders) icon to the right and toggle "Hide layout". Hiding a layout keeps the formatting intact, so you can update the content and unhide when ready without trying to figure out how to format it from scratch each time.

2) Please don't change the Spacers or try to drag and drop whole layouts. This can create problems with the logo top left and other formatting issues, which we would need Post Studio's help to fix.

3) If you're using a vertical photo, it will be HUGE. To fix that, click the down arrow to the right of the Featured block, click "Change layout" and select for it to be 3 equal columns (same as here for the text). Move the photo into the middle column, directly over the text.

Same for the top Featured photo, but it should go in the left column.

When switching back to a horizontal photo, "Change layout" again so that there are 2 columns, 1 twice the width of the other and place the photos in the double-width columns. So the top Featured photo takes up left-to-middle and the second Featured photo takes up middle-to-right.
