About this event
Miriam Delaney, Tara Kennedy and Laurence Lord (AP+E architects) will deliver a webinar and public Q&A session for Open House Limerick on their experiences in working on community-led town regeneration and urban renewal projects. Having worked together as part of a team at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018 on the subject of rural towns, their most recent work has involved developing design strategies and action plans in Lusk Co. Dublin and Castleblayney Co. Monaghan. In this webinar they will describe strategies they have used in community participation, and tactics that they have developed in empowering community groups to work collaboratively to identify and achieve better quality urban environments.

The popular festival of architecture, Open House Limerick, is celebrating its 10th year in Limerick City and County with the 2021 theme ‘Architecture is Reconnecting’. To reduce the number of large gatherings, the events will be staggered over a number of weeks with initial proceedings commencing during Heritage Week, which runs this year from Saturday August 14th to Sunday August 22nd. The Open House Limerick weekend will run from the 29th - 31st October 2021.
In recognition of the isolation shared over the past 18 months, Open House Limerick 2021 will be reconnecting visitors and participants to their built heritage, local contemporary architecture and shining a spotlight on lesser known well-designed public places in their area. In addition, Open House Limerick will engage with designers and architects to commission a new pavilion as a space of reconnection.
All events, which are free of charge, will either be held outdoors, self-guided or presented online.
