John Sisk & Son has announced it is the Corporate Partner of Open House Dublin (OHD 2020), Ireland's largest architecture festival, organised by the Irish Architecture Foundation.
Covid-19 restrictions means a lot of the festival is happening online and Sisk will be playing its part with a social media campaign linking to some of the iconic buildings we have delivered over the years in Dublin, linking to the broader promotion that OHD2020 will be doing through their channels. The company will pick up on some of the stories it promoted last year to mark the 160 years of John Sisk & Son.
Open House Dublin is the flagship event of The Irish Architecture Foundation and has been connecting people to architecture for fifteen years. Their belief is that empowering people with knowledge about the impact of good design will ensure our built environment always improves and becomes a liveable and vibrant place now and in the future. Open House Dublin is part of the Open House Worldwide Family, connected to 48 cities, who collectively have become a global force for public engagement in architecture.
A spokesperson from Sisk said: "This year we are all more aware of how people have engaged with and viewed their everyday surroundings, their homes, works spaces and their outdoors. Many of us have rediscovered our communities and neighbourhoods and uncovered the extraordinary in the everyday.
"With a programme more diverse than ever an unprecedented Open House Dublin is as the organisers describe it a treasure trove of content that marks a moment in time, in a year like no other."
