Entry Description

Éirigh is a site-specific collaboration that brings together art, architecture, creativity and construction. It is a place where people can gather to talk, to listen, to learn and to take decisive action for the future of our planet. This pavilion was designed as a central installation for the Earth Rising Eco Art Festival at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Its geometric shape reflects the shape of the Earth itself and it has been built with sustainable softwood, willow, bamboo, and jute. The title means 'wake up' and reflects the fact that we must all engage in the climate debate.
