In late 2009 I joined the ranks at the Irish Architecture Foundation and as a result I Like Local* started covering a lot more about the built environment. Most of the popular posts in 2010 were architecture-related (the most popular of all being about Open House Dublin, the biggest project I worked on with the IAF). Below are a couple of those archi-highlights. In 2010 I also spent most of my time in Dublin, but guest writer Colm Keller gave a little insight into design goings-on in Sweden in January of that year.

Another exciting Dublin-based architecture practice is Architecture Republic, whose collaborative nature and exploration of architecture as an artwork led to holding an exhibition in a house conversion of theirs.

On Open House Dublin weekend I made it to two buildings designed by Henry J. Lyons Architects, and really enjoyed seeing both clever designs.
