We are proud to announce the publication of our first book about the work of the practice. ‘Twelve Halls’ contains a collection of built and unbuilt projects, published to coincide with our contribution to the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
The publication is available in a number of architectural bookshops including the RIBA, the AA and the RIAI.
The collaborative project between Yeoryia Manolopoulou and Niall McLaughlin ‘Losing Myself’ opened on the 27th May for the Irish pavilion at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. An opening speech was given by the Irish Ambassador for Italy Bobby McDonagh.
The project is a reflection on the lessons learned through a decade of designing buildings for people with dementia. It has two complementary components: a website that collates a mosaic of conversations, drawings, stories and experiments around the subject of dementia; and an immersive installation that tries to envisage a building we designed for people with dementia through their own experiences. The installation questions the notion of the building as a singular conception, and by extension, those architectural representations that insist upon buildings as finite and whole objects.
