Built to Brew: the Architecture and Urban History of the Dublin Brewery, a talk by Dr Livia Hurley, 1.25pm-2pm.

It explores the collaborative roles of the brewer, the architect and engineer, and how their ambitions for innovation and modernity produced some of the most dynamic spaces in Dublin in the nineteenth century. Â
