Parnell Square Cultural Quarter - design team
Dublin City Council is developing a new cultural quarter on Parnell Square, a historic Georgian square in the north inner city centre. The Council will be seeking an architect- led multi-disciplinary design team to deliver a landmark, highly accessible and innovative complex of cultural facilities in a combination of new-build and renovated historic structures. This team must include specialist competencies with relevant experience in the design of large scale cultural buildings, architectural conservation, landscape architecture, M&E services, structural and civil engineering, environmental sustainability, acoustic design, project management and cost control. Approx. 11,400 m² of mixed cultural facilities, anchored by a new City Library for Dublin, are to be provided in a combination of new-build and renovated historic buildings on Parnell Square, integrated with the existing Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. The complex of historic buildings is of high architectural significance and will require appropriate care in its design treatment. The project will include re-landscaping of the public realm at the northern end of the square which will be integral to the design of the new facilities. Dublin City Council will be seeking a design of outstanding architectural quality and exemplary technical performance. The Council intends that the finished complex should be a landmark, be highly accessible and inclusive, be innovative in the design of its user experience, meet the best standards in architectural conservation and environmental sustainability and should understand and express Dublin's unique character. The complex should provide a platform for learning and cultural exchange on many levels, ranging for example from the City's international standing as a UNESCO City of Literature to working for the local communities of the district.
