‘A Place Belongs Forever To’ Symposium

Ailbhe was invited to speak on a panel for A Place Belongs Forever To, presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation as part of their Reimagine placemaking programme. This closing discussion brought together practitioners from diverse disciplines to explore contemporary approaches to placemaking in Ireland. The panel showcased a range of perspectives on inhabiting, thinking about, and shaping the built environment, offering insights into how place is understood and transformed through creative, critical, and interdisciplinary methods. Ailbhe was joined by Dr. Rachel O’Grady of OGU Architects, Sophie Maltzan of Fieldwork & Strategies, 12th Field (David Jameson & Evelyn D’Arcy) of Bog Bothy, and Phoebe Brady of Cineál Research & Design. The discussion provided a rich exchange of ideas on the evolving landscape of placemaking in Ireland.
