About PLACE

PLACE is a joint project between the Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA) and Belfast City Council (BCC) which opened in September 2004.

Aims and objectives:

• To act as a focus for education, information sharing and debate on aspects of the built environment, targeting both the general public and those who have a role in developing the built environment;

• To deliver a programme of exhibitions, workshops, seminars and events from premises in Belfast, but also on an outreach basis throughout Northern Ireland;

• To provide a facility where good practice from elsewhere in Europe and the world can be shared and where good practice within Northern Ireland can be disseminated to a wider audience;

• To participate in the various networks of built environment centres such as the UK Architecture Centre Network and European networks, as well as tapping into opportunities to develop more active working relationships with other built environment centres;

• To provide an opportunity for organisations with plans for the built environment to publicise their intentions and seek public feedback.

• To connect with the continuing professional development (CPD) activities of various organisations such as the Royal Society of Ulster Architects and the Royal Town Planning Institute.
