The People Build 2018

Following the success of The People Build in 2017, Walsh Waste delighted support the return of Olivier Grossetete to #GIAF2018 to embark on two highly ambitions and large scale builds for 2018.

Over two weeks, thousands of cardboard boxes will be transformed into the building blocks of a series of democratically assembled buildings including a new floating cardboard bridge at Waterside, a testimony to Galway’s River Corrib Viaduct once part of the famous Galway to Clifden Railway.

This awe–inspiring and spectacular architectural event is created by the people, for the people, and demonstrates the very best of community spirit and collective endeavour.
