After two years of work at a price tag of £3.5 million, Dublin's Project Arts Centre by Shay Cleary Architects will show off its renovated space for the first time this week. Behind its dazzling new façade of glass, steel and concrete painted electric blue, the place's old spirit remains. "The Project," says the centre's artistic director, Ms Kathy McArdle , "is a subversive, innovative, radical place where artists can make challenging work."
