Empirical is an annual architectural research journal by TU Dublin architectural technology students exploring environmental design, digitalisation, materials, and building performance.
Empirical is an annual architectural research journal by TU Dublin architectural technology students exploring environmental design, digitalisation, materials, and building performance. The research undertaken is always specific, evidence-based, and useful for real world application. Each year, undergraduates use a wide range of highly technical testing approaches, including credit-card-sized Raspberry Pi computers to place sensors within buildings, calibrated and guarded hot boxes to measure heat and moisture transfer through new building materials, and coding to create automated design-checking systems. This yields an interesting balance of drawing, making, and synthesis through writing. The programme’s continuing commitment to empirical research design gives the publication its name.

2ha #15 considers sprawl: how to define and find it, how to evaluate its impacts, and how to respond, as urban designers, to the spatial conditions that sprawl engenders.
2ha #15 considers sprawl: how to define and find it, how to evaluate its impacts, and how to respond, as urban designers, to the spatial conditions that sprawl engenders. In part one, a rationale is offered as to why sprawl requires greater attention and research in urban design. In part two, the question of how to design in sprawl is discussed. In part three, a compilation of projects which propose new design strategies are put forward in the context of sprawl's potential future transformation. 2ha #15 includes work undertaken as part of the module ‘Urban Design Studio’ (ARCT40690), within the Masters in Urban Design and Planning programme at the School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy, UCD.

2ha #12 considers the power of local, national, and international governance in determining suburban morphology. Three essays focus on the multiple means by which bureaucratic structures and political ideologies control the ways, rules, and regulations in which suburban development takes place.
2ha #12 considers the power of local, national, and international governance in determining suburban morphology. Three essays focus on the multiple means by which bureaucratic structures and political ideologies control the ways, rules, and regulations in which suburban development takes place. Ciarán Wallace documents the history of Dublin's early suburban communities, and how these administratively, politically, and financially autonomous townships negotiated local government reform, the practicalities of infrastructure and service provision, and the minefield of national politics. Seán O'Leary recounts the story behind Ireland's 20th-century New Towns – Ballymun, Tallaght, and Shannon – and highlights the role played by financial circumstance, political expediency, and administrative inexperience in shaping their prospective futures. Roger Keil and Pierre Hamel position the topic of suburban governance in a global context, outlining the diverse modes of control, discussing the various scales of organisation, and considering the impact of these jurisdictional typologies internationally.

2ha #06 considers the relationship between typology and the architecture of suburbia. Three essays respond to the evolving spatial types that define the suburbs as a coherent condition. Nikos Magouliotis describes the architecture of the Greek Maison Dom-ino, an ad-hoc and pragmatic form of development that has slowly reshaped the landscape of Greece since its emergence in the post-war period. Jim Murphy surveys the history of the semi-detached house, uncovering its possible origins, eventual crystalisation and subsequent variations, as well as its role in the suburbanisation of Ireland. Susan Dawson sets out the realities of designing a 21st-century housing project in Adamstown, Co. Dublin, and imagines an alternative typology for building a suburb.

2ha #02 explores the relationship between photography and suburban space. Three essays respond to the intimate link between the medium of photography and the spaces we occupy. Michael Hayes begins with the message of the medium, developing an argument that a uniquely photographic vision – defined by frame, limitations of the lens and a decentralised point-of-view – has shaped both the perception and making of suburban space. Hugh Campbell presents an insight into the changing environment of urban America 1964-79 and how this shift from centre to suburb is reflected in the work of Garry Winogrand and Stephen Shore. Martin McGagh produces a visual essay of photographic work which contemplates young adults, as they move through the twilight of their childhood, in the context of the generic housing estates where they live.

2ha #10 considers the impact of capital on the shaping of suburban space. Three essays describe how the architecture, society, and culture of a city can be influenced by the flows of finance. Denis Linehan discusses the increasingly transactional nature of urban space in Dublin, and the need for urbanists to better understand the political climate in which the built environment is being produced. Philip Lawton outlines the socio-spatial processes of regional and global urbanisation, questioning the usefulness of typical suburbia/downtown binaries in understanding a more complex metropolitan condition. Stephanie Rains reveals the long history of entanglement between property speculators, the press, politicians, and financial institutions in Ireland, and how this dominant model of development led to the emergence of Dublin's oldest suburbs.

2ha #01 explores the potential of mapping in understanding the suburban condition.
2ha #01 explores the potential of mapping in understanding the suburban condition. In a landscape built on movement, how we move affects what we know. A map is provided of a suggested walking route around the Goatstown/Dundrum area, in Dublin, with points of interest marked out along the way. Some are a little bit hidden, others in plain sight, but each have been included as places of rare forms and functions in the suburban fabric. The map is an idea for an alternative reading of suburbia.

2ha #07 considers the impact of cinema - as both medium and architecture - on shaping the suburban condition. Three essays respond to the temporal and physical spaces afforded by the motion picture. Dan Bashara considers the early work of animation studio United Productions of America, placing their abstract drawing style in the broader context of modernism, suburbanisation, and the visual illusion of spaciousness. Donal Fallon documents the early origins of cinema architecture in Dublin and its subsequent mid 20th-century heyday, when many new, purpose-built screens were constructed in the city's expanding suburbs. Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece discusses the contemporary trend for cinema-restaurants in the USA, and places recent developments within a much longer history of consumption, sensory indulgence, and movie-going.

2ha #09 considers the role of leisure practices in forming the spatial order of suburban landscapes. Four essays detail the social codes, individual desires, and official policies that determine the structure of free time. Aoibheann Ní Mhearáin looks at the position of green space - from front lawns to football pitches - in the formation of a uniquely suburban society. Geraldine Biddle Perry recounts the origins of cycling and outdoor culture at the turn of the century, and describes its influence in shaping the emerging masses of suburbia. Janina Gosseye discusses the link between suburbia, modernism, and leisure in the invention of the 20th-century shopping centre, and how it shaped the planning and design of this period. Suvi Talja identifies the changing fortunes of Dublin's Corporation swimming pools, from the politics of their establishment to their proliferation as new generators of suburban civic life.

2ha #14 considers the ways in which public art is made and consumed within the suburbs. Four essays describe divergent approaches to project commissioning and implementation, highlighting the varied contexts and conditions that determine a work's lasting impact. Kerry Guinan writes from an imagined future in order to look back, with a historic sensibility, towards projects of the recent past; a critical analysis which highlights disparities in practice and outcome across socio-economic divides in the Dublin region. Peter Dowie details the remaking of Ballymun during the regeneration scheme of the 2000s, reviewing the role that arts policy, funding, and practice played in legitimising the wider reconstruction project. Sean Lynch tells the story of an unusual and little-known temporary art work which briefly appeared in the suburban landscape of the Corish Roundabout, Co. Wexford. Shane Lynam documents the public sculptures of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County area, surveying the spaces and places in which each stand.

2ha #13 considers the physical, legal, economic, and symbolic borders which bind our everyday definition of suburban life. Three essays outline the contested nature of this space and the multiple means of separation made for the benefit of some, to the exclusion of others. James O'Leary describes the origins of Belfast's 'peace walls', the shaping of the residential areas through which they run, and their continued impact on the development of the city. Therese Kenna discusses the shifting methods of boundary-making since the emergence of the modern suburb and how trends in design, urban governance, and the law are undermining the possibility of a shared metropolitan future. Walter Greason highlights the conflagration of race, racism, urbanism, and economic development which persists, and is, in some cases, maintained by the chaotic application of zoning principles in the United States' ex-urban edge.

2ha #08 considers the legacy of modernism in forming the contemporary suburb. Three essays respond to the functions, scales, and personal expectations that a modern ideology makes possible. Ruth McManus details the emergence of a regional modernism in Irish local authority housing schemes of the early 20th century, outlining the conception, procurement, and construction of new homes in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. Shane O'Toole reflects on the changing pace of life brought by the emerging suburbs of 1960s Dublin and uncovers the genesis of Ireland's first mall: the Stillorgan Shopping Centre. Simon Walker discusses the intersection of politics, planning, and geography – from the ideologies behind early garden suburbs in Greystones to the student protests that accompanied UCD's controversial move to Belfield – and questions whether a local, suburban model might emerge from this conflation.

2ha #04 explores the relationship between history and suburban development. Three essays respond to the changing processes by which suburbia has been bought, built, and sold. Laura Johnston discusses her research into the role of 19th-century ground landlords on the emerging morphology of suburban Dublin, with a particular focus on the locally known 'Lords of the Soil'. Ray Dinh documents the changing face of Darndale housing estate, from its inception in the 1970s to its decline in the 1980s, and subsequent redesign during the regeneration projects of the 1990s. Emma Gilleece captures a brief period in Irish history where the combination of new technologies, trans-atlantic aviation, and speculative building saw the development of Irish Estates at Corbally, Limerick.

2ha #05 considers the relationship between language and suburban space. Three essays respond to the fractured process of translation that has come to define the territory of suburbia. Liam Mac Mathúna outlines a history of linguistic change in the Dublin area, describing how preceding eras of colonisations and cultures have renamed, subverted, and built upon a place and its people. Emma Geoghegan documents the absence of a vocabulary in both the imagination and critique of space on the urban-rural fringe, suggesting that a consideration of this landscape as an independent territory might begin a means of understanding its unique conditions. Isobel Ní Riain reveals how a reading of place-names, in the now suburbanised area of Little Island on the edge of Cork city, can tell of a long history of occupation; one whose built form is often subsumed by the office parks and semi-ds of the immediate present.

2ha #03 explores the relationship between suburban morphology and public spaces. Three essays observe existing conditions and propose an architectural response. A fourth and final essay describes a real intervention which deals with conceptions of public and private in suburbia. Michael Hayes begins with 'The Contemporary Commons'. Here, suburbia is perceived as a space that is either maligned or overlooked. In the left-over and oddly-shaped green spaces of the housing estate may lie the greatest opportunity for the civic in suburban life. Andrew Clancy presents 'Marginalia'. Among the landscape of Dublin's suburban coastline is an artificial topography made of commuter railways, by-passing roads and the ambiguous space left between. Colin McDonnell produces a spatial analysis of the suburbs entitled 'Pieces of Suburbia'. In reading the existing fabric as elements of field, point, and line, an alternative approach to a suburban architecture might develop. Ciara McMahon reflects on her practice 'deAppendix', a doctor's surgery and public gallery located in a Dublin housing estate. The project reassesses ideas of publicness/privacy and programmatic preconceptions within a suburban community.
