The Irish Film Centre is one of three adjacent buildings in Dublin's Temple Bar quarter, designed by the Irish architecture firm O'Donnell + Tuomey. The center combines centuries-old buildings - once a Quaker Meeting House - with contemporary elements that act to unify the disparate pieces. The remaining two projects are a national photographic archive and a national photo gallery, which respectively form the northern and southern boundaries of a public plaza called Meeting House Square.
