INTERNATIONAL RUGBY EXPERIENCE WINS GRAND PRIZE AND ‘SHARING PUBLIC SPACES’ CATEGORY AT THE BIANNUAL INTERNATIONAL BRICK AWARD 24 HOSTED BY WIENERBERGER

JUNE 2024

Our International Rugby Experience in Limerick has won the Wienerberger Brick 24 Grand Prize and winner in the Shared Spaces category. Judge Ingrid van der Heijden said of the building “ We chose the project as it really seduces people to go inside, because of what you can see on the outside”. The jury of internationally renowned architects chose five winning projects out of 743 entries from 54 countries.

The Brick Award is an international established award and has been celebrating outstanding brick architecture from all around the world for 2 decades.

APPG ON HOUSING AND CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

OCTOBER 2014

Niall McLaughlin spoke at the latest All-Party Parliamentary Group meeting on Housing and Care for Older People, which was held at the House of Lords this month. The meeting explored the relationship between housing and dementia, with contributions from invited architects, academics and practitioners in the field.

The aim of the APPG, which was set up in 2009 and is chaired by Lord Richard Best, is to highlight the importance of the role of housing, alongside social care and health, in the development of support and services for older people. The forum aims to encourage an integrated approach to care for the elderly in relation to these three areas and provide a forum for setting government agenda.
