The Irish entry to the Architecture Biennale aims to show how planned space can help people with dementia, writes Marjorie Brennan

This subject is tackled in Ireland’s entry to the International Architecture Biennale in Venice, presented by the London-based Irish architect Niall McLaughlin, and curated by Yeoryia Manolopoulou.
