First up, we’re reflecting on the programme Your Place or Mine? from 2008. This published review focused on the historic context for PLACE and the organisation’s earliest exhibitions and events in its first three years.
Conceived as an organisation with a unique remit in Northern Ireland, PLACE was one of a number of Architecture and Built Environment Centres to emerge across the UK and internationally.
In the Introduction to Your Place or Mine?, Barrie Todd, Chair of PLACE at the time, expressed optimism around the recently formed NI Assembly, excitement towards “the biggest public sector building programme ever experienced in Northern Ireland” and reflects upon a nation with 'a real sense of identity, stable economies, strong leadership and a broad sense of civic pride'. These developments were underpinned by a significant regeneration programme in Belfast, including plans for Victoria Square and the Titanic Quarter.
