@LisRea @Better_NI @belfastcc @EastSidePship An extremely talented architect called Chris Upson worked on this building for four years 😊 - I'm biased, but it really is incredible!

We can’t get over the fabulous planting on @OGU_Arch + @MMAS____ soon-to-be-completed Adelaide Street project. It transforms the street, especially on a mizzly spring day. Well done Lisa @belfastcc @BrighdinFarren @deptinfra 🌷🌷🌷#urbandesign #architecture #urbanism #spring

CLOSING TOMORROW: #Woodworks exhibition @solsticearts. If you missed it in Ireland, there's a good overview in The Plan ⬇️ & it's touring to the #TallinArchitectureBiennale in Sept! https://t.co/KtFcojWXqi Photo @AislingMcCoy

Given that, depressingly, the hashtag "sendherback" is trending, I'm very happy to start a #welcomehomenazanin thing, if anyone wants to join in with being pleasant and cheerful.

‘Timber Futures’ lecture on this Saturday 12th March.
Great to explore recycled timber structures in Belfast through our Bricoleurs project. Our exhibition is on in the gallery with the other Irish and Estonian #woodworks installations. Booking required via @solsticearts

[Rachel O'Grady @rog_projects]

Thank you @TomCLindsay https://t.co/oy0cn8Vlaf for this fantastic workshop. It was wonderful to hear students talking about their work in terms of their ambition, position and sense of responsibility. Can't wait for the follow up session and analysis. #SDGs #futurearchitects

[Queen's Architecture (Archive) @QUBarch]

Last week our students participated in a workshop run by @TomCLindsay of #socialenterprise https://t.co/3HDlOSpCZF to learn how to better target and trace the UN #sustainabledevelopmentgoals in their projects using ACT's SDG tag tool #technology. Thanks Tom! #SDGs

The #linenlanterns have arrived and the project is nearing completion! The playful structures reference the looms and machines involved in the area's historic linen industry. Don't forget to #lookup when you visit for surprises! #urbandesign #BolderVision

[Rachel O'Grady @rog_projects]

Delighted to see this project moving towards completion #urbandesign #boldervision #healthycities

[OGU Architects @OGU_Arch]

Exciting to see the #linenlanterns arrive on Adelaide St. yesterday. The structures reference the looms and machines involved in the area's historic linen industry. This trial urban project creates planted, sheltered space for eating, playing + resting. #BolderVision #urbandesign

A few of our favourite photographs by @photojoe2 of - and as part of - the recent installation 'bricoleurs' at @solsticearts curated by #alderarchitects and #b210architects @IAFarchitecture #estoniancentreforarchitecture

#WoodWorks @OGU_Arch explored the hidden world of #reused #timber garden sheds & #biodiversity in #Belfast terrace back gardens. Their display is made of #salvaged #wooden window frames, evoking both a garden shed & artefact cabinet, displaying what's becoming past. @solsticearts

Fair play to Chris for taking this cycling and ferry journey despite the weather. There is so much potential to take this kind of trip from Belfast.

[Chris Upson @chris_upson]

Tried taking the bike from Belfast to Liverpool on Ferry as a bit of an experiment. 30 mins from Ormeau Road to Ferry and 30mins from Ferry to Brother’s house on the other side. You can take your bike up to check in with you.

As (more eloquently) put by @successbelfast delighted to see that achieving the construction of Ormeau Parklet last year was just the start of a growing number+variety of much needed pavement/parklet projects in NI @OGU_Arch @ArchMmas @deptinfra @belfastcc @CommunitiesNI @QUBarch

[Successful Belfast @successbelfast]

Thrilled to see the policy and practical learning from the Ormeau Parklet being rolled out across Belfast!

Key challenge for us is how we make delivery happen more quickly. Should be more than two Parklets when you see what Montreal or Cork or [insert other city] have done.
