House on the Beach
House on the Beach
A cross-border climate action project, led by Trinity College Dublin
“House on the Beach” is a cross-border climate action project, led by Trinity College Dublin to illustrate the urgency of climate challenge. The project will place a sculpture of a house made from wood in 2 coastal locations – north & south of Ireland –in the Summer of 2025. The sculpture is a metaphor for our home - the houses we live in, the environment we live in and our planet – all of these are fragile and under urgent threat from sea level rise, forest fires, coastal erosions and climate change. We need to consider the way we build and the materials and energy we use.
