a+u 24:03 Irish Architecture──20 Houses by 6 Architects

Irish architecture through 20 houses by 6 architecture firms. These houses, nestled in the landscape of Ireland, paint a portrait of the physical conditions of the island. The feature begins with a dialogue between the guest editors, architects Tom de Paor and Andrew Clancy. The houses built on the island, which the guest editors describe as having “no melancholy or past glories,” are designed with discernable qualities of “dry and wet,” “soft light and fleeting shadows,” and “modeling and its staining.”
