Reading at the Miami Book Fair with Laura McDermott and Oscar Fuentes!  It was neat closing out the Fair--our audience had nowhere else to rush off to--the rain was long gone and we came out into a beautiful evening, the whole city alight and music from the Swamp enlivening the night.  I’m glad it’s over but it was a wonderful experience!

South Bank

This area is the first impression many visitors get when entering Waterford from the north. The urban strategy undertaken by the South Bank group was conscious of its responsibility to create a ‘welcome’ to visitors. The ESB pylons are removed from their prominent hill position and the projects are large scale and striking. The abandoned train line is brought back to service the new industries while bicycle lanes are introduced around the city supporting the development of a new velodrome.

Structure creating space is an area Dónal Ryan looks at in his thesis. He proposes a Sports Research and Development centre where the structure forms both the interior and exterior spaces allowing a clear reading of the building. Waterford has many sports connections with one of the finest sports institutes in the country and this centre, while being of benefit to Waterford would serve athletes across the island as there are no such facilities currently in Ireland.

Laura McDermott attempts to capture a quantifiable and memorable character in her thesis. It is the exploration of phenomenology contained within the experience of a specific place. A tapestry of structure is the end result of layering a carefully considered series of primary and secondary elements which complement each other visually and structurally. The typology is a Machine Tool Hall which requires large open spaces of work allowing the development of the complex truss system employed.

This thesis is titled “Capturing a quantitative and memorable character”. The idea behind the building and its form is about the tapestry and pattern created by structure. A quantifiable character is defined through the separate elements of the structure which have been fused together to form an overhead skeleton. This fusion of hundreds of smaller elements create the veil through which natural light penetrates, thus the character of memory is created.
