Isabel Hamilton reviews Francis Matthews’ recent exhibit, EXT/INT, at the Molesworth Gallery, Dublin.
ReadOveruse and misuse of 'participatory' terms to describe design processes with limited stakeholder power has devalued these terms, and led to scepticism around the processes described. In deciding how to maintain, repair, and retrofit Dublin's social housing complexes, it's imperative that residents are meaningfully included in decision making, and doing so begins with open, accessible communication, argues Irene Barrenetxea Arriola.
ReadThroughout the twentieth century, modernism reconceptualised and reestablished the practice of architecture to address the key societal and environmental issues of its period. One of its central precepts was the conception of architecture as an instrument capable not only of expressing the human condition but also of actively transforming it. The male-dominated, western-centric, and energy intensive universalism of modernism has latterly been exposed, catalogued, and rightly critiqued. While acknowledging the importance of this critique, this series of articles explores the continuing relevancies of modernist architecture.
ReadIn this article, Marta Hervás Oroza examines how the redevelopment of Stephen's Green Shopping Centre has prompted a reassessment of what qualifies as heritage; as well as the role active participation plays in shaping our built environment.
