AQSO’s proposal for the Boilerhouse studios in Dublin, an urban regeneration project including cultural and residential spaces in Ballymun, has been shortlisted for the 10th edition of Europan.
Ballymun is a residential area in Northern Dublin. Its regeneration plan has gradually led to the introduction of a new urban model with low-density residential typologies such as parks, leisure facilities and other infrastructures which have increased the significance of the neighbourhood within Dublin’s urban fabric.
The transformation of the pre-existing building transcends the physical perimeter of the site thanks to the insertion of a plaza at its heart. This public space substantially opens the surrounding cultural centre towards the city, and projects its exhibitions and studios to an increasingly urban context.
