Based in Dublin, Cork and London, O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects are revered for their work with urban design, public and private housing, and key educational and cultural buildings in Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK. In London they are best known for two major projects: the Photographers' Gallery and the London School of Economics Saw Swee Hock Student Centre. Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey, who both taught at University College Dublin and lecture internationally, constantly look at the way in which different geographical, social and political influences have shaped their iconic works and approach to architecture generally. This book, which is a second edition following the success of the first edition published in 2014, is divided into eight sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the practice's concerns: Studio, Courtyards, The World Outside, London Times, Subtraction and Addition, Venice Excursions, Building Ground and Cat's Cradles. Somewhere between a monograph and a memoir, a studio portfolio and a personal scrapbook, this book describes some of the motivating ideas behind the architects' iconic designs. Nine short essays, alternately written by Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey, set the theoretical background for thirteen projects carried out between 1999-2014. Illustrations range from early stage concept sketches to specific photography that has been especially commissioned for the book, to evocatively capture the essence of O'Donnell and Tuomey's buildings.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey have worked together for more than 30 years. They pride themselves on being a studio-based practice, committed to the craft and culture of architecture, and approach each project with a fresh and open mind, "Our buildings do not look the same; each is a specific response to its brief and its physical and social context". O'Donnell + Tuomey were both Professors at University College Dublin where they taught for 40 years and still regularly teach and examine in schools in the US, UK and Europe, including Harvard, Princeton, Cambridge and the AA. They have exhibited six times in the Venice Biennale, and have received over 120 awards for their building worldwide. In 2015 they were awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal for a lifetime's work. Previous publications from Artifice Press include Saw Swee Hock: The Realisation of The London School of Economics Student Centre, published in 2015.
