20 Irish Buildings You Should Know
Book
2019
Dublin School of Architecture Press
20 Irish Buildings You Should Know represents twenty Irish buildings from the twentieth century which we – the Dublin School of Architecture – believe students of architecture should know more about. Fourth-year architecture students from TU Dublin each selected twenty buildings, with the twenty most popular choices forming the basis for this book.
20 Irish Buildings You Should Know is not deemed a ‘best of’ or definite list. It is a small sample of some of the quality architecture that was realised in Ireland throughout the twentieth century. We view this book as starting point to a conversation.
