Building Futures Together

Open House Dublin is part of Open House Europe, a 3-year collaboration co-funded by the European Union.To highlight this year’s theme, festivals in each city will place a focus on sustainability within the programme, highlighting sustainable practice through building tours, opening up discussions around our city as a socially sustainable place to live, work and play and inviting young people to use their imaginations to build a sustainable future.

Share your Visual Story!

During your visit to the festival we invite you to capture this year’s Open House Europe theme, Building Futures Together, through photography, video (max 60sec), drawing, or any other form of visual storytelling. We welcome your unique perspective on architecture and sustainability in Dublin. This open call is not a competition but a chance to share your story about architecture and sustainability in your city, county and community.
