As the relaxed pace of summer holidays fades, September typically marks a return to the bustling rhythm of daily life. Architectural culture in Ireland mirrors this resurgence of activity, presenting a series of events that not only celebrate design but also challenge our understanding of space, sustainability, and society.

Film and Architecture Workshop: Re-mapping Galway
Galway serves as the canvas for a week-long program that delves into the theme of ‘re-mapping’. Participants will embark on a journey of discovery, using investigative observation, archival research, and innovative mapping techniques. The culmination? A short film that captures the essence of Galway’s built and natural environment. This event explores the power of storytelling, where film and architecture converge to offer a fresh lens on urban landscapes.

Design POP 2023 – Architecture and Design Festival
Cork city comes alive from 1-3 September with the Design POP 2023 festival. Held at Nano Nagle Place, this event is a celebration of architecture and design, featuring architectural pavilions, engaging conversations, and a deep dive into themes of ‘Urban Regeneration and Creative Community’. The festivals’ many events offer the chance to envision the future of design and its impact on our lives.
