'I Love Architecture' Campaign Launched

A special Valentine’s Campaign is promoting Architecture as a priority to improve the quality of the built environment.

Isabel Barros Architects “I Love Architecture” campaign is giving people the chance to have a free consultation worth €100 with a registered RIAI architect.

The campaign aims to make the general public aware of the importance of good architecture. Good architecture and design can be large or small, simple or complex, traditional or contemporary in origin.

Every aspect of our lives is influenced by the built environment – through the houses we live in, the schools we learn in, the offices or factories we work in, the public buildings we enter, and even the streets in which we move about.

Isabel Barros, Director, said: “Architecture is a discipline which demands creativity, specialised technical knowledge, an ability to listen to people’s dreams and needs, and the ability to turn these into reality on either a large or small scale.”

The “I Love Architecture” campaign will run until the 14th February 2011 and Isabel Barros Architects is offering 10 Valentine’s Gift Vouchers for a free consultation worth €100. Isabel Barros, Director, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for people to discuss their plans with an architect and get free advice. Wether it’s a small house extension, a shop restyling or a major scale development, architects can bring their creativity and technical experience to help you achieve a design that contributes to your sense of well being and respects the built environment,” she also added, “People are always looking for unique gifts to present their lovers, this is a fantastic idea to surprise your partner and to show your love.”

You can obtain your free Valentine’s Gift Voucher for a consultation worth €100 by contacting Isabel Barros Architects office at 053 91 78957 or by sending an email to office@isabelbarrosarchitects.ie
