In collaboration with the architect Dominic Stevens, IAF presents The Housing Incident Room; an architect led workshop that draws on the systems and structures of A Fair Land in which to produce A Housing Manifesto. The drive of The Housing Incident Room, is to explore the long history of radical thinking on social, political, environmental and architectural issues, as an essential framework to respond to urgent questions on how to move forward with creating housing in Ireland.

Invited workshop leaders will draw on A Fair Land‘s proposition for a new order and system of living brought on by re-invention and fuelled by self-determination, to address the biggest issues facing society in terms of the built environment, architecture and housing.

Workshop findings and agreed goals will be compiled into a Zine designed by Paul Guinan, titled The Housing Manifesto, to be launched at a later date.  Sharing the spirit of A Fair Land, The Incident Room thus becomes a place of industry and re-invention, through its production of The Housing Manifesto.

Join us on Saturday 27 August at IMMA for:
