Wholesale Dublin By Design: Architecture and the City

No single book can capture the multifaceted nature of a city. "Dublin by Design" celebrates the architectural and urban works that tell the story of Dublin's evolution, particularly since it became the capital of a newly independent state a century ago. The contributors explore the complex layers behind the city's iconic structures, streets, and spaces, shedding light on the interplay of culture, science, technology, religion, and politics that shape its vibrant character. This narrative is enriched with images showcasing architecture's significant role in the public realm. As Dublin faces economic, environmental, and physical challenges in the next hundred years, the insights from contributors like Dr. Mary Clark, Gráinne Shaffrey, and others provide a compelling look at the city's past and future. Heavily illustrated with plans, drawings, and photographs, this work is in association with The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI).
