The project saw them build an ephemeral club venue in the Irish city, realising their intention “ to empower new community spaces and reimagine architecture and nightlife in Ireland.” The Dublin project was launched in response to the crisis faced by nightlife in Ireland, where archaic licensing laws (amongst other factors) have contributed to a steep decline in the amount of nightlife spaces, with fewer than 50 clubs left. Last autumn, Irish Ministers approved an overhaul of the outdated laws which will enable Irish clubs and venues to stay open until 6am. The new bill is set to come into effect this year.
