Dublin Winner Galway Winner
The RIAI and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government are delighted to announce the winners of Europan 10 in Ireland.
Europan's objective is to bring to the fore Europe’s young architecture and urban design professionals, and to publicise and develop their ideas. In addition, it helps the cities which have provided sites to find innovative architectural and urban solutions for the transformation of urban locations. The open competitions are anonymous and public calls for ideas are on a European scale. Europan 10 was open to any team of young architectural design professionals and candidates had to be under 40 years old on the closing date for submission of entries.
Europan 10 is Ireland's second time participating in Europan. Submissions were received from 49 teams throughout Europe for the two sites in Ireland proposed by the respective city councils. In Dublin, the site in Ballymun had a theme of regeneration. Competitors were asked to design a project comprising a mix of residential and non-residential studios for artists, a small gallery and associated ancillary spaces.
This project aimed to provide focus for existing and new public art work in Ballymun and to attract a new community of residents and visitors to Ballymun. In Galway, the greenfield site was in Ballyburke to the west of Galway city and had a theme of colonisation. Competitors were asked to create a connected, permeable, sustainable neighbourhood which linked with surrounding developments and to design a block layout that maximised solar gain and encouraged a well defined, enclosed, safe and attractive streetscape.
The international jury for Ireland, chaired by Aidan O'Connor - Principal Advisor, Housing Division, Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, visited both sites and judged the (anonymous) submissions, creating shortlists from which the winners were chosen at the Cities and Juries Forum held in Graz, Austria in November.
‘Boilerhouse Art Studios' by Ross Lambie (UK) won the competition for the Ballymun site in Dublin and Conor Sreenan (IE) with his submission entitled 'Terroir' won the competition for the Galway site in Ballyburke. The runner-up submissions for both sites were also Irish, a2 architects in Dublin and Donal Colfer in Galway.
Exhibitions:
All of the Dublin submissions, including the winner, runner-up and short listed entries will be exhibited in the atrium of the Civic Centre in Ballymun for the month of February. John Gormley T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government will make presentations to the winners and runners-up of both sites on Monday, 1 February 2010.
The Galway submissions will be exhibited digitally in the Galway City Museum from 18 February for two weeks, with an opening on Saturday, 20 February 2010.
