In the Science Gallery at Trinity College, as part of the #HousingUnlocked exhibition, Evelyn D’Arcy and David Jameson provide an overview of the #ReimagineCloontuskert project.

The architects have been working with residents of Cloontuskert and Kilcormac to explore the villages' built heritage during a period of major change for these communities.
