From 7 - 10 October, Dublin buildings of all types and periods will open up their doors to allow citizens explore the architecture of their city, with special tours by hundreds of professionals and enthusiasts, completely for free.

2010 is an exceptional year in Irish architecture as it sees the completion of several large-scale projects in Dublin city. To mark these new urban landmarks as well as the innovative work of Irish architects across all scales, we have adopted the theme – Big, Small, Global. Open House Dublin is a unique opportunity to explore the city in all its dimensions.

Open House Dublin is curated by Dr. Sandra O'Connell and is presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation. To see the programme as it grows, visit www.architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse
