(Motivation letter sent November 2006 to apply for Mitchell Programme run by ASF Italia (Architects sins frontiers) I was successfull in reaching the last selection stage which involved traveling to Rome for a tri-lingual interview but did not get the grant.)
Combatting social exclusion through innovative and sustainable policy and practice in the context of urban planning (ASF Mitchell application letter)
2 months ago i left my home in Dublin, Ireland. I was not sure exactly to where I was heading or how i was going to get there. It had something to do with confronting the “world of architecture”; challenging their closed system and attempting to pull down the walls they have built around that snug little world. I left to connect, support and learn from others in the world which is growing outside that “world of architecture”, those today who are struggling for and building a better world. This was the natural next step in a journey that began ten years ago on the beaches outside New York while finding out about Gandhi’s views on Ahimsa and direct action. Im not sure when or where this journey will end but its getting more real, profound, beautiful and a pleasure to be on, step by step.
