- Affirm and promote the value of architecture in society
- Assist architects in realising their artistic ambitions
- Make it possible for people to extend and enhance their experience of architecture
- Strengthen architecture and other arts organisations countrywide so as to secure the basis of a vibrant and stable architecture community
- Ensure the Arts Council works effectively to support architecture
Achieving these goals
We are actively seeking to work together with architects, the arts community and others to achieve these goals. We have identified a number of priority areas that need to be addressed if we are to make progress.
These are, the need for: a Centre for Architecture to strengthen Ireland’s visual culture and raise public awareness of the artistic nature of architecture; practical support for the achievement of high architectural professional and aesthetic standards within arts organisations; improved support to architects to allow them to practise as artists and in collaboration with artists of other disciplines.
