Sustainable Cities & Communities
Whats the Goal?
To make cities & communities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
The Carroll Building at DkIT represents a space in which contemporary engagement with creative cultural practices is housed within a listed building of architectural value. Designed in 1967 by Scott Tallodn Walker Architects, the building is recognised as one of Europe’s finest examples of modern industrial building designed in the Miesian style. The award-winning redesign of the building in the early 21st century has been sensitive to the architect’s original vision, protecting many aspects of the structure that contribute to its heritage value, while allowing for the development of television, radio and music recording studios, performance spaces and media labs.
Staff and students are encouraged to explore their creativity, drawing on the diversity of the community while also embracing local traditions, such as the rich music and song traditions of the Oriel region in which the building is located. Audiences are invited to attend concerts, drama performances, film screenings and exhibitions that not only showcase the work of staff and students but also enrich the cultural life of the surrounding communities. Collaborations with external groups foster an ethos of inclusivity that contributes to a more sustainable society
