Lunchtime Quickies – Temple Bar @ 15
Daragh | October 9, 2006I read with interest in yesterdays Sunday Business Post that there is currently a photographic exhibition being run by the Temple Bar Cultural Trust as part of Temple Bar’s 15 anniversary programme. The retrospective photographic exhibition of Temple Bar will take place from Friday October 6th – January 2007 at the Irish Architectural Archive, 45 Merrion Sq to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of the regeneration of the Temple Bar area.
The photographs in the exhibition, entitled ‘Temple Bar 15’, date from 1985, a period when the proposal to transform Temple Bar into a bus station was being given serious consideration. They reflect the area as it was then – a collection of decomposing buildings, surface car-parks and abandoned properties. The objective of the exhibition is to celebrate the physical regeneration of the area over the last 15 years.
The catalogue for the event can be found here, and, I suppose this could easily be squeezed in as a lunchtime quickie!
