“I Love Architecture” Gives Free Valentine’s Gift Vouchers

February 7, 2011 / aoife / 0 Comments

This week we are launching a very special campaign under the name “I Love Architecture”. This campaign aims to promote Architecture as a priority to improve the quality of the built environment.

The campaign plans to make the general public aware of the importance of good Architecture.

Good Architecture and design can be large or small, simple or complex, traditional or contemporary in origin. Every aspect of our lives is influenced by the built environment – through the houses we live in, the schools we learn in, the offices or factories we work in, the public buildings we enter, and even the streets in which we move about.

As part of this campaign Isabel Barros Architects is giving people the chance to have a free consultation worth €100 with a registered RIAI Architect.

The “I Love Architecture” campaign will run until the 14th February 2011 and Isabel Barros Architects is offering 10 Valentine’s Gift Vouchers for a free consultation worth €100. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to discuss their plans with an architect and get free advice. Wether it’s a small house extension, a shop restyling or a major scale development, architects can bring their creativity and technical experience to help you achieve a design that contributes to your sense of well being and respects the built environment.

You can obtain your free Valentine’s Gift Voucher for a consultation worth €100 by contacting Isabel Barros Architects office at 053 91 78957 or by sending an email to office@isabelbarrosarchitects.ie. Hurry up before the offer ends!

The offer is limited to the first 10 eligible registered respondents who respond before 14th February 2011 with name, address, email and contact no. Terms and Conditions apply.

More love here.

Government Policy on Architecture 2009 – 2015: First Annual Report

February 3, 2011 / aoife / 1 Comment

The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government has published the first Annual Report of the Government Policy on Architecture 2009-2015.

The Government through this policy on architecture and the built environment seeks to promote awareness and understanding of the contribution of good design to the daily life and well-being of society as a whole. High quality design, whether in the details of the buildings we work in, or in the spaces and places that we share socially, should not be viewed as a luxury, achievable on a one-off basis. The realisation of good architecture is fundamentally about much more than individual buildings. It must also concern itself with the realisation of an acceptable human environment for all.

The policy places more emphasis on sustainable development of the environment and urban design, continuing to encourage and support high quality modern architecture, incorporating architectural heritage in a holistic, integrated manner and developing actions which respond to and promote awareness in these areas.
