Some of the handiwork of Dublin architects’ architects Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey [top] who have won the 2015 RIBA [Royal Institute of British Architects] Royal Gold Medal in “recognition of their lifetime’s work”.
Shiela and John, both in their early sixties, are apparently among the “youngest recipients of the Medal” previously given to the likes of Le Corbusier , Mies van der Rohe and Frank Gehry
The citation reads:
“It is forty years since it had been awarded to an Irish practice*. In the meanwhile Irish architecture has flourished – particularly in their generation – with a commitment to the art and the craft of building which is the envy of our more populous island. What marks Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey’s achievement is that very commitment.
They are, of course builders first of all: but they are writers and teachers as well as professionals, active through the Architectural Association of Ireland in whose recent revival they were instrumental, so that their presence on the Irish scene is a powerful one, and their influence as teachers and writers has been extremely important.

Fair play, etc.

Another amazing sunrise over Dublin this morning.
When phoning the queen of the land,
There’s something one must understand,
If she wants to purr,
Well that’s up to her,
But letting folk know isn’t grand.

Fair enough.
A selection from an exhibition of new works by American portrait photographer Sandro Miller who has worked closely with actor John Malkovich and other ensemble members of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company for many years, creating, among other things, the award wining short film Butterflies.
Here, many of the iconic American art portraits that helped shape Sandro’s career have been fully Malkovich’d – a nod to one memorable scene from the movie Being John Malkovich.

Conradh na Gaeilge have started our evening Irish classes again this week, and had a large banner made up earlier this month to advertise them. Our CCTV had some interesting footage this morning though – these lads must have been keen to get in touch and register…
