We are delighted that The Reason of Towns exhibition has been awarded an AAI Award.

The Reason of Towns is an engaging and provocative exhibition by the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF) of the work of architect Valerie Mulvin.

Curated, commissioned and produced by the IAF, this touring exhibition features models, drawings, texts, and a series of slides, notes, personal memorabilia, building fragments and more. Together these reflect just a fraction of three decades of work on the subject of towns by Valerie and McCullough Mulvin Architects, gathered and published in the book Approximate Formality, which was a starting point for the exhibition.

The exhibition opened in Birr in August 2024, and has since travelled to Belmullet, Trim, Dublin, Thurles and Skibbereen.
