➜ Short description

Startfortalents.net, platform for research of architecture, proposes #DublinCall, a contest aimed at the design of a Cultural Center that can give new life to an area without a defined urban design.

Dublin has a centuries-old history often interwoven with myths and legends and which testifies to its certain origin around the third century AD. In medieval times the city experienced impressive fortifications that the Anglo-Norman conquerors erected to curb the influence of the Irish natives; imposing religious buildings were built such as the church of Christ and the Cathedral of San Patrizio. These monuments began to consolidate, over the centuries, the spread of a Georgian style, a fusion of Gothic, Rococo of English origin and Italian-style Palladianism. Exposed bricks are the material that characterizes local buildings, an element of recognition that still shines through walking through the streets of the city. A language with which the Irland Cultural Centerwill have to dialogue to build a contemporaneity that knows how to give value to history.
