We are thrilled to have been doubly successful at the 2014 RIAI Awards. Granby Park was voted outright winner in the Public Space Category, and Our Lady’s Nursery, Ballymun was commended in the Educational Category. Also many thanks to all of those who voted for our projects in the People’s Choice Category.
The jury’s citation for Granby Park read;
A transformative pop-up park achieved by the fulfilment of an ambitious process of collective creativity. From artists, architects, schoolchildren, horticulturists, cooks, musicians, and more this community based project brought forward, through a remarkable volunteering spirit, the potential of everyday vacant city spaces alive and inventive, the park embraces resourceful design; polytunnels for shelter and a winding amphitheatre constructed from industrial timber pallets featured. A significant element of the project is that, although temporary, it was designed as a template for other communities and their spaces.
