Dublin City Markets
A space for connection.
Dublin City Markets’ is a communal vision for social connection and trading spaces encompassing the renewal of existing built structures.
My research has indicated a desire for accessible, sheltered spaces that promote social engagement. Though the city has rapidly grown since the 1960’s, our markets reflect the opposite. Having one major market is not enough, multiple social spaces are needed to serve the growing cultural and social needs of the city's communities.
Most importantly, we need connection. By using markets as space to talk, play and laugh with people you know and people you’ve yet to know, it strengthens our social connections and promotes locality and culture.
This vision is highlighted by playful illustrations advocating for the renewal and rejuvenation of social spaces for the city’s community. The accessible and playful nature of these works allows them to be universally understood and enjoyed.
