We visit new and up-coming projects by this award-winning Irish practice, recipients of the 2022 #EUmies Award (Mies van der Rohe Award). We explore how through high-quality architecture and thoughtful ‘urban acupuncture’ we can transform our cities into places for people, echoing the values of the New European Bauhaus of beautiful, sustainable, together.
Locations include an emerging primary school on Dublin’s youngest educational campus; an exciting project that connects the people of Dublin with their port city and coast; and a new building in Dublin’s old Georgian quarter that creates routes and public spaces for the enjoyment of people.

The work of Grafton Architects puts people at their centre and their Venice Biennale manifesto for the creation of ‘free’ and accessible public spaces has enduring value, which this film explores.
Places for people is directed by Ros Kavanagh produced by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) and the RIAI.
The film will be available for viewing on the RIAI YouTube channel from 9 June, 2022.
