‘A New Generation’ asked three Irish architects to take to the stage to discuss their work from a national and international perspective. The event was held in the Project Arts Centre, Wednesday, June 25th, 2014.

The event is chaired by Dominic Stevens, architect and lecturer at the Dublin Institute of Technology.
Rory McGowan, Director, Arup said:
“At ‘NewNowNext’ world-leading architects present exciting and challenging views in unique spaces. Since its genesis, Arup has been challenging views; we aim to shape a better world. This year in addition to bringing some of the brightest international thinkers including Samuli Woolston, Minsuk Cho and Ole Scheeren to Dublin, the series will also provide a platform for ‘The New Generation’ of domestic talent.”

After the event everyone gathered for a reception in the Project Arts Centre bar. NEWNOWNEXT is a series of public talks sponsored by Arup, revealing current and next generation ideas and architects from across the globe.
