Open House Dublin 2009

The Irish Architecture Foundation is delighted to announce the return of Open House Dublin for it's fourth annual architectural outing! It is a simple and powerful idea where over one weekend, from 8 to 11 October buildings selected for their architectural quality and interest 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, boat and cycling tours, to explore their city¹s architecture. 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, such as the ((("My Place" series of family and school workshops from the Arts Office of South Dublin County Council.)))
All Open House events are free of charge. A full programme of events is available in print and by web.
