Open House Dublin 2026 – Dublin Is Living
Dublin is a city and county of unmatched energy, rich history, and deep-rooted community spirit. But Dublin is not only defined by its red bricks and mortar, its iconic landmarks, its parks, or its infrastructural ambitions. If Dublin is living, then people are its life support. The true pulse of our capital resides in the collective care we show for one another, the networks we maintain and the shared vitality of every local neighbourhood.
This year’s Open House Dublin festival of architecture is a celebration of that living exchange and relationship between people and place. As our city and county evolve, we face critical questions about urban renewal, housing, sustainable transport, and preserving our unique cultural fabric. From behind the scenes tours, to youth-led debates, to a town hall discussion on the future of Dublin, this festival of architecture is your place to explore, to connect, and to feel the pulse of this city and county.
Open House Dublin is part of the Open House Worldwide international network of 50 organisations hosting festivals and conversations about architecture, design and cities across the globe from Lagos to Taipei, and New York to Santiago. We are uniquely positioned to take the lead on public engagement, discourse and debate in architecture and city-making in Dublin.
