DESIGN TALK:
O’Donnell + Tuomey
€35
The projects of award-winning architects Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey emerge from an intensive study of local geography, social history, and the surrounding urban or natural landscape. They deploy architecture as a civic framework to foster community wellbeing and encourage public interaction. Sheila and John discuss recent projects such as V&A East and Sadler’s Wells, and reflect on the principles that guide their work with Dr Sandra Andrea O’Connell at Anantara The Marker Dublin, Grand Canal Dock.
