Open House Junior 12 Oct 2025
Are you a young architect, artist or designer aged 8 to 12? Then join artist Jole Bortoli, Production Manager Mark Rooney and The Ark team for a tour of the building, followed by a creative workshop where you will design your own building.
As The Ark celebrates its 30th birthday this year, the building that houses it celebrates 300 years! On the tour of the building, we will explore behind the scenes and some of the interesting features in this building, designed specifically for children.
In the workshop, we will explore drawing and 3D construction. Have you got any original ideas for a new building that Dublin would be proud of? What would it look like? Who would live there? Where would it be placed? In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to design and build a model of your own.
This Workshop is part of the Open House Dublin architecture festival and is kindly supported by the Irish Architecture Foundation.
