Full Irish

"From Georgian cities to modernist masterpieces, architecture in Ireland has a long history of excellence. The last fifteen years, however, witnessed remarkable social, economic, and cultural change, leaving a dramatic mark on the country's architecture. A new commitment to design quality by some developers and a series of government-sponsored competitions for new civic buildings have enabled Ireland to become a focus for international architectural attention. Architects practicing in this environment, from disparate cultures and design backgrounds, have begun to fill Ireland's landscape with modern architectural masterworks, from small private homes to large community centers." "In Full Irish author Sarah A. Lappin examines the nature of twenty-first-century Irish architectural identity as it develops its own progressive contemporary idiom. Illustrated with color photographs and drawings, Full Irish includes more than seventy projects from Ireland's leading firms as well as its up-and-coming designers."--BOOK JACKET.
