Test Site is a collaborative community-based project that enables public engagement with architecture, ecology, sustainable urban landscapes and community-organized events. The project takes a vacant site in Kyrl’s Quay, Cork, and through small interventions and events programming brings life and use back into the place.

Barcelona Superblocks is an urban design principle that prioritises people over cars, improving the public realm of neighbourhoods, reducing reliance on vehicles and promoting alternative modes of transport. Subsequently this reduces pollution and CO2 emissions in the city of Barcelona while allowing for an increase in the levels of green space available for residents. The principle takes 9 city blocks and combines them into one Superblock bounded by major road networks. Within the Superblock people are given priority – two lane roads are reduced to one with the former car lane transformed into new green urban spaces.
