This year's programme theme is 'Catalyst'.

Architecture and design can be catalysts for beneficial change, because they can enable, accelerate or inspire interaction across our entire built environment, to the benefit of both individuals and institutions.

‘Catalyst’ will explore the potential for people to find opportunities for fulfilment, personally and collectively, through multiple and varied interactions with community, ideas, experiences and place.

Talks and panel discussions will take place across two stages on all three days of the festival.
