From Vacant to Vibrant: Transforming Tolka quay through meanwhile use
(2023) ASBM01 20231Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- This thesis explores the concept of “meanwhile use” in the context of the Tolka Quay area of Dublin. The project proposes a temporary use of the underutilized space to activate it and contribute to the area’s long-term development. Through five phases of design, which are Connection, Landscape, Zoning, Building, and Future, the project aims to create a vibrant and sustainable community hub in Tolka Quay. Meanwhile use plays a critical role in each of these phases, providing an urban design experiment in a sustainable, low-risk, low-cost way to test new ideas and activate the space. By embracing temporary solutions, the project seeks to lay the groundwork for a more sustainable and inclusive future, where urban environments are dynamic,... (More)
