Architecture

Building initiative offers a critique of development strategies in Belfast since the peace process, demonstrates alternative models from elsewhere and aims to open up paths of initiative for civil enterprise to resume its formative role in the built environment in Northern Ireland. By ‘civil enterprise’ we mean economic, social, and political development that creates diverse, accessible, integrated places.

Building Initiative is a project by Antje Buchholz, Orla McKeever, Conor Moloney, Jürgen Patzak-Poor, and Dougal Sheridan. It is supported by the University of Ulster and the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s Special Initiative for Architecture and the Built Environment.
