OPEN CALL: WE HAD AN IDEA ABOUT THE FUTURE

Deadline for applications: Tuesday 8th May 2012
Proposals are invited for stimulating new or existing work to inhabit a number of rooms in Earlsfort Terrace this June.
In 1911, the first students enrolled to study architecture at UCD. This year, there are over 1000 enrolled in architecture schools across the island of Ireland. As the number of graduates expands the capacity and thinking of architecture continues to develop. Every day designers propose and develop new ideas for how the future might be. The exhibition ‘We had an idea about the future’ will celebrate the inherent optimism of this imaginative process.

An optional site visit to Earlsfort Terrace will take place on Saturday 28th April.
