About
Hometown Architect is an initiative of the Irish Architecture Foundation’s nationwide Reimagine placemaking programme. Through fieldwork projects, Reimagine supports communities across Ireland to partner with architects to co-create and co-design solutions to problems or opportunities they have identified in their locality.
Belmullet has been selected as one of five towns nationally to take part in the #IAFreimagine Hometown Architect initiative 2023. The Belmullet Reimagine project is being led by local architect Mark Ruddy who aims to enable the development of a whole-community vision for the sustainable development of the historic planned market town of Belmullet, Co Mayo.
Through a series of public workshops the #reimaginebelmullet team will explore how the community of Erris and Belmullet can engage and influence the present and future development of their hometown to create an inclusive and comfortable urban environment in the heart of the historic planned market town of Belmullet.
