This Irish Architecture Foundation open call for new Reimagine placemaking projects invites community groups to apply in partnership with an architect who has a connection to their town or village. The architect can either be currently living in the town or village, have grown up there, or have family in the locality. Project proposals should focus on town centre regeneration and align with the Town Centre First Policy published by the Government of Ireland in 2022.

Submission deadline: 16 January 2023

Five successful submissions will be awarded €10,000 each. Submissions will be assessed by a panel of experts, including architects, IAF staff and Town Centre First Policy experts.

Hometown Architect is part of the IAF’s nationwide Reimagine placemaking programme, which works with communities across Ireland to co-create and co-design solutions to problems or opportunities they have identified in their locality. Hometown Architect is funded by the Arts Council and the Department of Rural and Community Development.

Irish Architecture Foundation

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.
