The ACE & ČKA Conference: "Affordable and Quality Housing for All" is a major architectural conference taking place on November 13, 2025, in Prague, Czech Republic. Organized by the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE) in partnership with the Czech Chamber of Architects (ČKA), the event will be held at the Ball Game Hall (Míčovna) located within Prague Castle.
Running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the conference centers on the theme "Building on the Past, Designing the Future," reflecting a focus on how contemporary architectural practices can address housing challenges while drawing on historical insights. The event brings together architects, urban planners, and design professionals to discuss strategies for creating affordable and quality housing solutions across Europe.
The conference features an opening session at 9:00 AM followed by multiple sections throughout the day dedicated to various aspects of housing design, regeneration policies, and implementation tools. Attendees will gain insights into different national contexts and the gradual development of housing regeneration approaches across examined countries.
This is a significant gathering for the architectural community, offering opportunities for professionals to exchange ideas, learn about best practices, and contribute to discussions on one of Europe's most pressing challenges: developing housing that is both affordable and of high quality. The event also provides an online viewing option through the ACE YouTube channel, making it accessible to those unable to attend in person.
