The effective negotiation of nationalised technology implied by the German attitude to technologie formed an inspirational example for the accommodation of technology into the Irish national imagination

Analysis of Seán Keating’s Depiction of the ESB development at Ardnacrusha

1 - Keating depicts a young Irish family staring in awe at the hydroelectric dam. The parents are educating their children about the structure. Keating depicts himself as the father. He emphasises that, in the future, Ireland will put the family at the centre of its society.

2 - At the centre of Keating’s painting a gunman bows to a businessman. Barber notes that this represents the “triumph of reconstructive capitalism over the forces of revolution”. It also shows an emerging passive attitude to nationalism, that independence could be better achieved by economic means than through violence.

3 - In the corner a priest is shown reading, oblivious to events around him. His inclusion shows the continued influence of the Catholic Church in Irish society. His disinterest in the dam suggests a reluctance of the church to embrace modernity.

4 - On the left hand-side outmoded images of Irish society are shown: the alcoholic and the idle labourer. Keating suggests that they will have less relevance in modern Ireland through their dismal depictions.

5 - A worker is shown examining an unlit gas lamp. This represents the onset of modernity as electricity would soon become a reality for privileged parts of Irish society. Above him a soldier’s corpse hangs ominously, symbolising the end of Civil War and the scars it left on Irish society.

State Ball at Dublin Castle - William Van Der Hagen 1731

An Irish spectacle

The State Ball at Dublin castle was a propaganda event where decor, design and decorum decided the standing of a viceroy and as such were often lavish extravagant affairs expressing the high society’s wealth and influence.

(Miesian Architecture) that sought to break away from the past was depicted as rooted in and nourished by the cultural tradition of his adoptive country

Mies Van Der Rohe’s 1954 Convention Hall

Mies’ convention hall, a vision for universal space, greatly influenced this project. I was interested in how Mies’ concept of universality aligned with American ideals of democracy and freedom in the post war period. Globalised architecture reflected the social and cultural identity of the society that fostered it.
