Simple and brilliant concept for revitalising Irish towns with @IAFarchitecture. ‘Making projects out of the wishes of the people, empowering local people, and looking beyond the normal options’. @IrishTimes @GemmaTipton irishtimes.com/property/2023/…

The multilayered, fascinating, Hometown Architect project, is drawing out the untapped resources of towns such as Aughrim and Lisdoonvarna irishtimes.com/property/2023/…

#ReimagineLisdoonvarna's "Tapping the Well" public meeting is tomorrow! Read all about it in @ClareEcho and all locals welcome! zurl.co/i1GQ This project by @common_k_ @graftonarchs ACT Studio & Lisdoonvarna Fáilte is part of #IAFarchitecture's #placemaking programme

Delighted to see this profile of @common_k_, of which I'm a board member. We're currently issuing Community Bonds structured as 5 year loans (paying 5% interest p.a) to create a thriving hub to teach self-building, resilience & home skills. Revolutionary? irishtimes.com/life-style/202…

#ReimagineLisdoonvarna are holding their first event on 28 June & were on @ClareFM yesterday to discuss it. Play it back for @fionnkidney @common_k_ on how the project came about & Shelley MacNamara @graftonarchs on memories of a Lisdoonvarna childhood. clare.fm/podcasts/morni…
