About this Event
Following on from a successful pilot programme in 2023, the Irish Architecture Foundation is delighted to welcome a second series for 2024 in Limerick. This year’s programme combines knowledge from industry experts and those with hands-on experience through walks, talks, clinics, and site visits that tackle issues of vacancy across Ireland.
New Life for Old Buildings is a national programme about the future of buildings that are already built. It is developed and delivered by the Irish Architecture Foundation as part of Reimagine, the IAF’s placemaking programme. Our aim is to empower people determined to transform Ireland’s vacant buildings into homes by providing opportunities for on-the-ground learning and knowledge exchange, building a national network of individuals determined to breathe new life into old buildings.
In 2024, the New Life for Old Buildings programme will be delivered in Limerick in partnership with our anchor venue, the Hunt Museum, with our launch event being held at the International Rugby Experience building. Our Culture Night launch is the first of a number of Limerick-based walks, talks, clinics, and site visits events in 2024 and 2025. The 2024 programme is funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
