Exploring Ethics in Architecture Conference (March 2025) by AIARG is looking for submissions. Open to anyone interested in this, not just architects! Particularly relevant given the housing crisis & commercialisation of public spaces currently IMO

@RobJCurley Thanks for getting back to me. It’s a lot easier to travel for a conference than a series of talks so it would be great if it was available even as a recording afterwards.

@janmc_ Hi Jan. At the moment we don’t have this capability but this is a topic we discuss regularly & hope to improve upon soon. Thankfully many of these practices are widely published, incl Peris+Toral who are speaking next week.

Buzzing to launch a new lecture series I’ve curated with @AAIarchitecture “Housing Solutions” explores qualitative issues in contemporary housing, showcasing intl & Irish case studies in affordable, cooperative, experimental & social housing. 1/5

@RobJCurley Hi Rob, will these be online also for the many of us outside Dublin? Looks great but I won’t be able to travel up. Thanks

Want housing solutions? Listen to housing experts who work in the field everyday. Tickets now available for our first talk w Peris+Toral on September 19th in TCD (w much thanks): eventbrite.ie/e/aai-housing-… (Ticket costs support travel & accommodation for guest speakers) 4/5

@otboae @entschwindet I think there’s an element of going in and out of fashion for architects. He might be rediscovered by a new generation soon.

@entschwindet He was considered very important when I studied in the 1970s - on a par with Mies.

as an architect & teacher I'm sometimes surprised by how little we talk about Frank Lloyd Wright… when I studythe work I'm always struck by how intensely bursting with creativity and ideas it is, and yet it sort of feels like there's little that can feed our own development

@JodyBrownArch Perfect Blue Buildings by Counting Crows

Making an architecture related Playlist and I'm open to suggestions

@clickclickjim ArctechPro or Siteworks

@griffski Where was this please and thank you? Donut sprinkle Pusheen was massive hit last Christmas!

@dubconservation @JoeOkoh_ @creativeirl @DecowellLtd Well done to all, great to see them restored instead of replaced.

Mastodon is the new Wordle.

Hmm, RIAI 1 hour lunchtime online CPD is €35 👀

@kallmemeg If you like these, you’ll love Mint Slices from NZ (& presumably Oz). Viscount are the closest I’ve found in ireland but nowhere near as good! cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-bmyh6/images…

🚨 Biscuit update 🚨 I have a new fave biscuit, the Viscount Mint Cream. The UKs own Thin Mints. Officially the 🐐 of biscuits. Yeah I’m trying to start shit. burtonsbiscuits.com/our-brands/lyo…

@ElaineEdwards Still going here. Now at 40+

Can confirm the rain hasn’t stopped the trick or treaters 🎃 We’re into the back up sweets now, 35 kids have been and gone.

@UCDCfIT @UCDEarth Great news, thanks for getting back so quickly. Will be following your work with interest!

@kilkennyweather Bad news for Trick or Treaters I assume? Any time period where it might be lighter in KK this afternoon/evening?

Just when you were wondering could it get any worse, Met Éireann have issued an orange weather warning for Kilkenny today for heavy rainfall. Rain will get heavier as day goes on as a slow moving front crosses from the west. Peaking in the evening & finally clearing around 11pm

@UCDCfIT @UCDEarth Hi, I missed this one and was wondering if there is a recording available as would love to take a look. Can’t see a link on the website. Many thanks

@crazyhouseprice 100%. And this is the first year I realised it also applies to pets.

As someone who now has a 9 month old I can confirm the clocks changing is a load of shite and it needs to be scrapped 😭

@niamh_dr My eyelids felt heavy just looking at the length of eyelashes the sales assistant had on the other day. She must have been still in her teens.

No more drama from across the water likely until morning? Need sleep!

@ColPobOsrai @KkCwETB @Gaeloid @CoggOid Maith sibh! Great turnout and very impressive presentations

Míle buíochas to everyone! Students, parents and staff who made our Open Evening such a special night. Do na daltaí, tuismitheoirí agus foireann na scoile bhí sibh go hiontach. #bród #Gaeloideachas @KkCwETB @Gaeloid @CoggOid
