Bustler: LiD Architecture Wins Dublin#39;s Parlour Design Competition
Dublin City Council and Point Village Limited recently announced that the winner of Dublin’s Parlour Design Competition is LiD Architecture . The Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland (RIAI) ran the single stage competition on behalf of the competition promoters, Point Village Limited. The competition was open to architects, urban designers, landscape architects and other disciplines, with the objective to design a new public civic space for Dublin.
“The Parlour” will have strong social, cultural and environmental character and a countrywide profile for holding an intense and varied program of music and other outdoor events including markets and monster céilís. All of the events held in the Parlour will be free to the public.
The winning submission’s simple, strong, clear idea effortlessly addressed the brief. The central concept is to use shipping containers as basic building blocks, which will be configured in creative ways to address challenges of containment, movement, art, lighting and art performance. The jury felt that that the winning submission displayed high levels of flexibility, adaptability and toughness in use. The design resonates powerfully with the docklands and embraces the temporary nature of the challenge.

The objective of the competition is to recognize superior environmental design achievements made by students in Landscape Architecture university programs. The 2009 46th IFLA World Congress in Brazil aims to encourage achievement of the highest standards in landscape architecture education worldwide. The competition invites submissions from teams of students in Landscape Architecture university programs or allied disciplines, in case the institution does not include a formal Landscape Architecture program, but another one close to it.
