In April this year, Dublin also had Barcelona-based collective Temporary Pleasure revealed its working on building a brand new nightclub in the heart of the city.

After the announcement of last year’s What Makes A Club workshops teaching lessons in community-based club curation, the group have now come together to work on their biggest project to date.

“We transform vacant buildings into temporary cultural spaces through participatory design workshops,” reads the architecture collective’s case for support.

“By engaging and educating locals in the design process, we empower communities to self-build DIY venues, responding to local needs and platforming local voices.”
