Reimagine Cafe: Manuals for Future Places
When: Tuesday, November 30th, 1pm.
Booking: Here
The Reimagine Café is a welcoming community space for those involved in placemaking and reimagining their built environment.
Curated by Lisa Godson, the theme of the Dublin Art Book Fair for 2021 is “Manual”. This Café takes its inspiration from this curatorial theme, in particular the role printed matter plays in providing “guidance, instruction and understanding”, and being a tool for change.
For one hour, the Irish Architecture Foundation will hold this space for a conversation about Place, urban design and community-led design. Using the Reimagine Pocket Guides as a starting point, this is an opportunity for discussion on the way that toolkits, guidelines and manuals support our experience of and impact on the world around us. Commissioned by the IAF with texts by Alan Mee, Emma Geoghegan and Orla Murphy, this event will be the first time these Pocket Guides will be available in print.
