    In need of a few new books, just thought that I’d ask what if any books you’re reading of interest to irish architecture….

    The Rennaissance by Walter Pater c.1880.

    Not sure how related it is though. I suppose that’s up to the individual.

    I am just finished Frank Mc Donalds latest and can recommend it, even though much has appeared elswhere and he needs a sub-editor to take out the “asides”. Good value for £15 in pb.

    Well worth a read is Sean Rothery’s
    Ireland and the New Architecture, if you have not read it already.

    I have been reading “The Song of the Dodo” by David Quammen. It’s not about Irealnd, and it’s not about architecture. But it certainly puts it all in perspective – its about biodiversity and extinction in modern times.

    I can’t recommend this book enough for getting people’s attitude to development sorted out.
