Join the Irish Architecture Foundation for this unique evening conversation on architecture and film. As part of our season of exhibitions and events, This Is Where We Are Now, the IAF is proud to present for the first time in Ireland the immersive film installation A Lot With Little. This film will be discussed by a panel including the curator and producer of the film, Noemí Blager. Also on show in the venue is a new film called The Space Is The Thing, a portrait of four Irish towns made by architect Valerie Mulvin and director Martin Danneels.

About A Lot With Little

An Irish premiere screening, A Lot With Little showcases the work of international architects engaged in sustainable solutions for housing, education, transformation of existing buildings and disaster relief. It features projects with a social dimension that have had a positive impact on the communities they serve. The contributing architects provide multiple interpretations of a common mindset, overcoming a lack of resources with creative ingenuity.

An immersive film installation, curated and produced by Noemí Blager and made by Tapio Snellman, showcases selected projects in their existing settings, alongside interviews with the architects themselves.

The featured architects embrace lateral thinking and participatory methods, leading to the creation of sustainable, affordable architecture that contributes to societal betterment. Their shared values prioritise context over concept, fostering flexible, people-centered architecture that exist in harmony with their surroundings. Here, sustainability isn’t a mere goal or regulatory response — it’s a natural consequence of their design philosophy.
