Open House Dublin (11th-19th October 2025) is a free festival of architecture with over 100 guided visits, talks, tours, lectures, workshops, and more taking place across the city each October.
Without the participation of our incredible volunteers, Open House would not be possible. Every year, over 200 volunteers help us to steward events, host tours, assist with administration and ensure the smooth running of our programme. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Whether you are available to volunteer for just a few hours or multiple days, your participation is deeply valued.

About
With a focus on public audiences and established in 2005, the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF) is Ireland’s independent organisation that fosters and advances the culture and communication of architecture. Based in Dublin, but with a national remit and an international network, our purpose is to empower people to build a better world.
A not-for-profit charity, the IAF is principally funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. It is additionally funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, under the auspices of the National Built Heritage Services; the Office of Public Works; and Dublin City Council.
Across an increasingly broad range of events, programmes, and exhibitions, the IAF partners with individuals, organisations, government agencies, education institutions and civil society groups to ensure that our work builds civic pride and action and that outcomes are impactful and transformative.
