The accommodation crisis could be addressed by housing people in revamped bank buildings and even churches, according to those behind a new exhibition looking at fresh solutions to the current housing shortage.

The Irish Architecture Foundation and The Housing Agency’s ‘Housing Unlocked’ Exhibition, which began in the Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin on Wednesday, is the first of its kind and showcases eight projects selected from a longlist of 55, each aiming to highlight innovative methods of housing people.
