People of the Docklands
Many lives, one neighbourhood
The Docklands aren’t composed solely of tech workers or deckhands. There’s an unbelievable variety of workers, residents, and passers-by in the Docklands community.
Work beside the water
The waterways around the docks are perhaps the area’s most iconic feature. In our episodes you will learn not only about the work that goes into maintaining these features, but also how the Liffey and Canals affect both work, life, and architecture in the Docklands.
A place to live
The residents of the Dublin Docklands are the ones who add much of the vibrancy and colour that we associate with the community. Silicon Docks aims to show you what life in the Docks is like: what pubs and restaurants are local favourites, what life next to the water is like, the best place to grab a coffee, and so much more.
Old and new together
The architecture of the Dublin Docklands are often lauded for their integration of the original façade into the new constructions. At Silicon Docks we aim to do the same. We’ll interview people who have lived in the docks both before and after its renewal and look at the way in which those two worlds intersect.
The human scale
The Docklands aren’t just a series of high-rises and canals. Silicon Docks will bring the focus back to dry land and help viewers and listeners foster a better understanding of ordinary life around the Docklands.
