So any thoughts? Agree / disagree with the results?
Is that the full list of Special mentions?
Good variety but haven’t seen half the stuff.. is the book out yet?
Of all the ones I have seen so far the offices in letterkenny are the most interesting – in that the aesthetic is so removed from the standard highly crafted material style that you would normally associate with the awards. Not that it isn’t well built – but it’s context and handling of the same indicate that our usual treatment of ring road areas need a lot of investiagating.. and this is a really fresh approach.
That is the full list. The book will be launched the night of the exhibition opening on Friday 25th April
Letterkenny Area Offices @ architecturedonegal
The range of entries seemed very unrepresentative of the larger architectural community with many well established firms not even making a submission.
On a related matter, Dave Fanning (DJ) was asked in an interview today what song reminded him of his school days and he replied Spice Girls “Wannabe”. Could say the same about the exhibition.
Anyone seeing this from outside of Ireland will have a very skewed view of what is happening on the ground.
It is over now. It ran for last week. The space is needed for another exhinition being promoted by the AAI and which will be available to visit from next Monday.
That “Desmond Fitzgerald” in the special mentions – any relation to THE Desmond Fitgerald?
