This year the exhibition moves online as part of Project 20×20 – A Year Like No Other. A celebration of the creativity of Transition Year students from all over Ireland, 30 schools participated during the 2019/20 academic year, with 12 of these profiled in the exhibition. Ideas and themes explored include architecture and film, inclusive design, structure, heritage and a re-imagining of school environments. The exhibition is in two parts – a video overview and a series of 12 Instagram posts, showcasing the students’ work in more detail. Applications are now open for the schools to take part in Architects in Schools for the 2020/2021 academic year. For further information, email learning@architecturefoundation.ie.
