Amy McKeogh - Architect + Creative Director.
In early 2019 Amy founded Ireland’s first Design and Food hybrid festival called Design POP, which took place from the 17th to the 19th of May in Cork City. Design POP had 6 pavilions created by 6 Irish Designers and Architects collaborating with Irish food producers to create structures dotted around the city, forming a food and design trail. The festival also had over 19 lectures, panel discussions, and a food market. The event attracted over 45,000 people and intends to build on the success year on year.
Description|Inner city public realm is facing new pressures following the impact of Covid-19 — crowded city centres, narrow walkways, and packed transport contribute to health and safety concerns. By redesigning our public spaces, and striking a balance between offering community and safety, we can begin to address fears and return to a new normality.
