'Open House' Focus On Modern Architecture

The Irish Architecture Foundation has announced the return of Open House Dublin for its fourth annual architectural outing.

Over one weekend - from 8 to 11 October - buildings selected for their architectural quality and interest will open their doors to the public.

"Open House Dublin has become Ireland's largest architectural event with an estimated 15,000 people taking to the streets at almost 140 events, ranging from building, walking, and boat and cycling tours, to explore their city's architecture," said a spokesman.


This year the spotlight is on innovative 'next generation' buildings, including buildings from Tallaght’s new Cultural Quarter.

"Educating children and young adults about the value of architecture is a particular focus of the Open House Dublin programme and we have developed with our partners a series of exciting workshops," added the spokesman.
