Open House Dublin is the biggest celebration of architecture in Ireland presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation. Over one weekend in October, buildings of all types and periods open their doors to more than 27,000 citizens and visitors allowing them to explore the architecture of the capital completely for free to the public.

The Book
A very significant and sought after aspect of Open House Dublin is its annual book, designed by award winning (and consistently excellent) studio, Conor and David. This exceptional ‘souvenir’ publication, of around 100 pages, containing full colour images by well-known architectural photographers and a description of each building in Open House Dublin is the object of the crowdfunding exercise. 10,000 of these books are printed and they are snapped up in days.

Your help
Because the book is a valuable tool and guide to the best quality architecture in Dublin it needs your support. No other book like it exists. If the target of €15,000 isn’t reached on fundit then no money is collected and the book will not be produced this year.

186 generous creatives have made donations on fundit.ie – a total of €6,601 has been pledged … there is still a bit to go and your donation could make the difference.
