  • 1. Trinity College Dublin

Description

Reuse and Redevelopment Proposal

The proposal consists in the adaptation of the Market House into a Craft Training and Sustainability Research Centre. The crafts that could be learned are:

• Earthen construction techniques
• Thatching
• Stone and brick masonry
• Traditional plastering
• Others

The space would host a permanent exhibition of the history and importance of Irish market houses (with a special section on the history of Newtownbutler’s Market House and Lanesborough Hotel) and a library with material specialized in craftsmanship and
sustainability topics open to all public.

Notes

Presented at the International Summer School: Conservation Without Frontiers, Survival and Revival organized by Ulster Architectural Heritage in partnership with Irish Georgian Society.
