Dublin’s architecture and built environment – old and new - is a vital part of our identity and builds our social, environmental and economic resilience.
"This year we’re including examples of important new public housing projects delivered directly by DCC. We’re also connecting the work of DCC’s public realm team to climate action and showing our ongoing conservation work on well-loved heritage buildings. We hope Open House participants enjoy the experience and we welcome feedback.”
