Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / March 18 2004: Architects ask the people - what is a home?

It may seem an odd question - to have an architect ask you what you think a home is - but that's what the AAI (Architectural Association of Ireland) is enquiring of the general public. Naturally, architects have their own strong views on what a house should be and how to best design them, but they want to open up discussions with the public - i.e. potential clients. Architecture in Ireland has evolved beautifully in the past few years but there is still a gap between ticky-tacky houses that are mass-produced by certain developers, and something that has been carefully designed with the user, climate and landscape in mind.
