Events | Bog Bothy at Girley Bog

Event Details

Bog Bothy is a touring collection of new work, built outcomes, and ambitious proposals toward a new peatlands architecture, presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation and 12th Field.

Bog Bothy is touring to Girley Bog, Co. Meath on 16-17 August during National Heritage Week, following a successful run in Clara.

Bog Bothy includes a new Bothy shelter, an exhibition of photographs by Shane Hynan and drawings by 12th Field, work by artist in residence Luke Casserly, and a public programme of workshops, tours and performances on our evolving relationship with Ireland’s peatlands through the lens of architecture and placemaking.

The bothy structure has been co-created with communities in Offaly, Louth and Meath and designed by architects Evelyn D’Arcy and David Jameson of 12th Field.
