Mapped: a study of planned Irish villages

Book
2017
Dublin School of Architecture Press
€ 0.00 EUR

Mapped is the outcome of a Dublin School of Architecture research project interested in the origins of Irish villages and the variety of urban morphologies evident therein. The book is intended as a guide to planned villages; those distinctly formed by the actions of landlords, religious groups, and entrepreneurs. Eighteen unique Irish villages are featured, with the history of each described through detailed texts, collated imagery, and original drawings. This work is complemented with contributing essays from Gillian Darley, Colin Rynne, and Robert O'Byrne which provide additional context to the emergence and development of Ireland's villages.

Editor: Miriam Delaney.
