NAMAlab NAMAlab is a post-graduate architectural and urban research unit based at the Dublin School of Archi

This NAMAlab Map has been generated to facilitate an academic study at the Dublin School of Architecture at the Dublin Institute of Technology and is a purely theoretical project. The mapping is restricted to the Dublin City area and is not intended to represent the NAMA portfolio. Rather it is a selection of lands and properties which have been discussed in the media within that context. The identification of individual sites is indicative and may not represent the actual extent of holdings. Note that NAMA has said that it will not normally reveal the identities of any NAMA borrower and will accord NAMA borrowers the same confidentiality they would receive at the original financial institution. NAMAlab has started mapping what we believe the NAMA portfolio to be in Dublin. This is the first time such information will be available to the public as a visual document. NAMAlab currently offers 48 alternative proposals for NAMA sites based on the idea of recapturing the identity of Ireland in a post credit crunch society. These include a new National Contemporary Art Gallery in the abandoned shell of the Anglo Irish Bank, a NAMA jail adjacent to Dublin Castle, a trout farm on Grand Canal Basin, The New Abbey theatre on O’ Connell Street, a National Casino on Fleet Street and many more....

If the aim of NAMA is to maximise asset value, the aim of NAMAlab is to maximise the social
cultural and strategic value of the NAMAlands and set a precedent for change through
Architecture. The purpose of the NAMA is “to contribute to the social and economic development of the state”. National Asset Management Agency Act 2009_ NAMA act 2009._ Part 01 Section02 B(viii)_ Part 02 Section 02 B(viii)
