About this event
The Irish Architecture Foundation's 6th annual Summer School is a day of participatory workshops and creative experimentation. Taking place on Saturday 5 April 2025 in Dublin, this full-day event is free and open to anyone with curiosity about architecture and the city, with particular relevance for architects, artists and creative practitioners of all disciplines.
The IAF Summer School offers participants the opportunity for collective exchange and collaborative making during two guided workshops. With a focus on playful interpretations of the city and new modes of representation, we invite you to join in as we discuss, make and create!
The workshops will be led by design and research collective Rubble (Ireland, Spain, UK) and Lucille Leger and Jacques-Marie Ligot (France). All are featured LINA Fellows, and the IAF Summer School is presented as part of the LINA programme of architecture events taking place across Europe.
Booking information
The IAF Summer School is free to attend, but booking is essential as places are limited and are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
This full-day event will feature two linked workshops. Participants are encouraged to join both workshops.
The IAF Summer School is open to all, including professionals, academics, graduates and third-level students. It will be of particular interest to architects, designers, artists, cultural producers and anyone with an interest in architecture, sustainability, design and the built environment. CPD points are available for registered architects.
No particular skills are required to participate in this event.
The Irish Architecture Foundation endeavours to offer programmes that are accessible and inclusive to all.
The booking form invites you to tell us if you have any accessibility requirements and what especially interests you about this Summer School. Your answers will help us with planning.
About the facilitators
Rubble collective was founded by María Daly Bermúdez, Dominic Daly, David Hurley, Nicolas Howden and Emily Jones in 2022, after graduating from University College Dublin. They are currency based in Madrid, Barcelona, London and Dublin. As part of LINA, Rubble is also running a three day workshop with Barleti University, Tirana, and working with Theatrum Mundi, Paris, on a publication entitled ‘Staging Ground’. Rubble are also members of gaplab, the IAF’s programme of mentoring and support for emerging cultural producers in architecture.
Lucille Leger is an artist and curator, and Jacques-Marie Ligot is an architect, researcher, and teacher. Both are currently based in Paris. Supported by LINA, they will travel through France, Portugal and Spain to Ireland, visiting Architecture at the Edge in Galway, and then stopping in Dublin as part of Periple Duet, a residency-on-the-move with Lisbon Architecture Triennale. They will also collaborate with Architektūros Fondas in Vilnius, Lithuania.
