"Dublin - Creation, Occupation, Destruction" awarded Architecture Book of the Year 2024


"Dublin - Creation, Occupation, Destruction" has won an Architecture Book of the Year Award 2024 in the History category. The prize is awarded by the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects, Temple Bar Trust and World Architecture Festival. Judges Murray Fraser, Simon Henly and Cindy Walters described the book as:

More a love-poem rather than architectural text, this astonishingly original appreciation of Dublin owes much to the writings of W.G. Sebald or films of Wim Wenders. The author’s deep knowledge of his home city is also entwined in affinity with the rich literary tradition of Joyce and others. Copious undated monochrome photographs carry a haunting quality, like Dublin seen in reverie. As a posthumous publication, it is a fitting finale for a distinguished career as architect and writer on Ireland’s buildings, towns and cities.
