This year’s annual architectural festival Open House will take place across the city from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th October. It is a unique opportunity for citizens to explore, understand and re-discover the architecture of their city through over 150 free events and tours, including buildings not generally accessible to the public.
This year Dublin City Council is again teaming up with the Irish Architectural Foundation to deliver a programme of events that includes visits to Dublin City Council buildings and projects. Dublin City Council’ staff will provide guided tours of these buildings sharing their expert and interesting insights into the stories behind some of Dublin’s valuable building heritage.
Dublin City is a dynamic place of growth, revival and renewal and Dublin City Council will show a number of projects to reflect this, which include:
Climate Change and the Public Realm
Dublin City Council’s City Architect’s Public Realm Team will provide a ‘Walk and Talk’ about how its work contributes to climate action. The tour will cover the recently completed Chatham Street and Clarendon Street, as well as the area around South Anne St.
