Innovation Week 2020

‘Progress and Preservation through Design’

For almost two centuries, the functions of the OPW have influenced many aspects of life in Ireland. Today, whether its pioneering landscape design that supports biodiversity, presenting Ireland’s World Trade Fair Expo 2021 or adding value to flood management schemes, the OPW’s work continues to impact the everyday lives of the public it serves.

In a series of short, wide-ranging, presentations from some of Ireland's leading design proponents, learn about the role of design across diverse disciplines and how it is driving innovation in public projects. Hear internationally recognised design guru, Lorna Ross, challenge us with her thought-provoking talk, ‘Crafting the Future: Lessons learnt from design-led innovation in complex systems’. Join us as we journey from Clonakilty to Dubai to hear about the people and the projects designing our experience of the world around us.
