About this event

Walking tour of Temple Bar with author and architect John Tuomey to celebrate the release of his new memoir.

In this reflective and enriching memoir First Quarter, John Tuomey navigates the places and memories of his life over the scope of twenty-five years. First recognised for the urban regeneration of Dublin’s Temple Bar, which included the construction of the Irish Film Institute, the National Photographic Archive and Gallery of Photography, his life in architecture led him to design social and cultural spaces such as the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, the Glucksman Gallery in UCC and the Victoria & Albert East Museum in London. Join John on this special walk around Temple Bar as part of Dublin Book Festival.

This tour will depart from The Printworks, Dublin Castle.
