Book Synopsis
The Dublin Architecture Guide is a companion guide to the modern

Trade Review

The Dublin Architecture Guide demonstrates beautifully that good architecture can be found in the least obvious places: a vocational school in Inchicore, for instance, a pastoral centre in Rathfarnham or a library in Baldoyle. In fact, there are 53 educational buildings included in the guide, 13 churches and 12 community buildings. One of the most important takeaways from this book is that interesting and inspiring architecture is more often than not on our own doorsteps. Indeed, I’ll never look at Donnybrook Bus Centre in the same way again.

-- Marie Kelly * The Irish Times *

A compact and beautifully organised curation of the city’s rich and diverse array of modern architecture.

-- Luke Byrne * Totally Dublin *

At 432 pages long, it’s a weighty, substantial book that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

* PLAN Magazine *

On the whole, this is an eminently accessible guide and a well-timed Christmas stocking filler for the architecturally curious in your life.

-- Louise Dredge * Architecture Ireland *

It captures a variety of buildings across Dublin, not just the greatest hits but some surprises by some well-known practices who weren’t so well known when they designed these... It’s really nice... I’ve been recommending it to lots of students I teach and it will be really interesting to architects and non-architects alike... I’m a big fan of it.
