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.

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.
