Architecture Transforms Learning
Who We Are
The Irish Architecture Foundation( IAF) is a vibrant and passionate not-for-profit organisation founded in 2005 that excites people about the cultural value of architecture. We are the only designated organisation in Ireland with a core mission of communicating architecture to the public. We truly believe that architecture transforms lives. It influences our everyday experience, from the interiors of our houses to our landscape, our cities and our towns. We believe that the impact of our awareness and education initiatives will create a better built environment, and we do everything within our power to make that happen.
Schools Initiative
The IAF’ s National Architects in Schools Initiative is a nationwide youth programme that engages Transition Year students in architectural education through project-based learning. Bringing architecture specialists together with teachers and principals, this collaborative programme invites interdisciplinary participation from Design and Communication Graphics, Technology, Science and Art, and aims to bridge these disciplines with the study and practice of architecture.
