The Organisation is a multidisciplinary action research collaborative, formed to promote the possibilities for self-organised, collaborative and cooperative approaches to housing in Ireland. We contend that the creation of housing can be a participatory, non-speculative, affordable and democratic process, and that such a process has the potential for positive social transformation.
Our work aims to influence a changed attitude to urban living and housing development in Ireland. Through a series of projects (including publications, exhibitions, public workshops and conferences) we aim to inform and educate the Irish public in regard to alternative, socially and environmentally sustainable housing models, which encourage and facilitate diversity, adaptability and community development. We hope to inspire Irish people as to the possibilities for participating in and contributing to high quality diverse urban neighbourhoods, as well as the potential for self-organised development.
