New Now Next : The Irish Architecture Foundation Event

The Irish Architecture Foundation, supported by ARUP, invited Islander Architects to present at a unique gathering of some of the most exciting and revered architects, artists, writers and thinkers from the island of Ireland. The unprecedented lineup includes Array Collective, BothAndGroup, Hy-brasil, Islander Architects, and Tom Keeley. The event is chaired by Andy Summers. It is the final edition in the NewNowNext Series of conversations on architecture for 2023.

The title of this event, Idir and Thither suggests a moment where Ireland is between states ('Idir'), and moving to some other place ('Thither'). Firmly rooted in the 'now' and the 'next' of architecture in Ireland and worldwide, this final talk in the 2023 NewNowNext series builds on current momentum on topics of islands, borders, landscape, colonisation, resources, activism and identity as it relates to architecture, cultural practice and possible futures for Ireland.

It was great to be part of this cross disciplinary conversation!
