KeymasterIn 1953, at the request of Herbert Read, and with support from the Irish Arts Council, Thurloe Conolly set up a “Design Unit for Ireland” office in Dublin. The co-directors included Senator Edward Maguire, Dermot O’Regan of CTT and Alan Nolan of the publishers Brown and Nolan. Essentially an Irish branch of DRU (Design Research Unit), a European design consortium founded by Herbert Read, Misha Black and Milner Grey, the Dublin office survived for several years before Conolly moved to London, to work with Read in the central DRU office.

KeymasterI would tend to agree – relatively tasteful places – no A0 neon posters about breakfast rolls

KeymasterAlways liked this group of buildings – damned shame if they get demolished after purchase….
We need to encourage owner co-operatives, group of people to buy this and create their own living spaces within the buildings.

KeymasterWho are we to argue – clearly this is what the men and women of 1916 wanted for us!

https://archiseek.com/2014/1700-platten-hall-co-meath/#.UwOnZ_ldX3QDescribed in a publication of 1907 as “It is an ugly building now, in spite of its rich red colouring; but in formelr days, when it was a story higher, and had a gabled roof, its appearance was doubtless more attractive. “
