Sensuous Geographies by Vincent Callebaut Architects
In the heart of the North Lotts Area of Dublin Docklands, the project «Sensuous Geographies» is located at the confluence of the Royal Canal and the Liffey river.

Following the « Master Plan 2003 » and the « Draft Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 », the project inspired by the Land Art proposes a hybridization of the city and the landscape on the theme regarding flows and geographies.
This Master Plan proposes a spatial design based on a phasing strategy in temporal sequences. These sequences called « Sensuous Geographies » make topological changes which correspond to six thematic landcapes : the Royal Canal, the Ecohouse, the Playscape, the Orchard, the Lagoons and the Housings. These six landscapes will reconnect the links between the neighbouring quarters by integrating new interconnexion networks.
