the minister for arts, sport and tourism, seamus brennan t.d., has named the 13 members of the jury for the international design competition for the new abbey theatre to be built in the dublin docklands at george's dock.
minister brennan said that when completed the new waterside building will give dublin an iconic and dynamic structure reflecting the city's growing reputation as a global capital of culture and creativity.
the abbey theatre's new home will be a centrepiece of the cultural, social and economic amenities that are being developed in the dublin docklands, which includes the national convention centre, the grand canal theatre, the chq building, the point village and the u2 tower.
the theatre will be over 24,000 square metres and will have three auditoriums, several rehearsal spaces, public and social spaces including shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, facilities for performers and staff, gallery and exhibition facilities and a cinema/lecture facility.
the minister said the appointment of the jury, and the publication in the coming days of a prior information notice [pin] in the official journal of the european union announcing outline details of the international competition marks significant progress in the development of the new national theatre. it is expected that the design competition will be completed by the middle of 2008. competition web site : http://www.abbeytheatre.ie/press/pressroom.aspx
