Lecture (Dublin) ‘20th Century, is it Dead and Gone?
12 Mar 2002Modernism in the 20th century
A lecture by Sean Rothery on modern architecture. This lecture, on modern architecture, which should prove fascinating and thought-provoking, will be given by Sean Rothery, the well known architect and author.
Royal Society of Antiquaries 63 Merrion Square 7.30 pm tickets £5 (€6.35)http://www.irish-architecture.com/igs/events/1012903556.html
Not a bad lecture, even if he seemed to forget about Ireland halfway through and go on a meander through the signature works of the 20th Century.
I thought it was interesting to see some of the members of the Irish Georgian Society nod in agreement when he was praising the buildings of Wright, Le Corb, etc. and Gas Building, Bus Station and so on.
The lecture suffered a little through lack of time-a lot to cover in one lecture
would have been a suitable subject for a series of lectures
The dutch school and their influence on public housing in Dublin in the 1930’s
The store house in Guinness’ and its influence from Chicago
Lambay
“Peter” Rice
influence of emigrant young architects of the 40’s 50’s 60’s etc
and so on
