Irish Film Institute -AFTERNOON TALKS: ARCHITECTURE OF THE IFI

AFTERNOON TALKS: ARCHITECTURE OF THE IFI

FREE

Plans for the conversion of the Quaker Meeting House into the IFC (now the IFI) took shape in 1988 and were completed in 1992. This result managed to create a striking and vibrant cultural space whilst retaining strong elements of the building’s rich heritage.

The IFC was one of the first projects completed by distinguished architects O’Donnell + Tuomey and the acclaimed design was awarded a 1993 RIAI Award. In this talk, Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey will discuss some of the opportunities and challenges of the project, and also talk about how they expanded and refined their vision during major refurbishments in 2009.

This event is FREE but ticketed; please email the IFI Box Office or call 01 679 3477 to book your seat.

This event is part of IFI20: Celebrating 20 Years in Temple Bar.
