Presentation by Stephen Proctor, alongside Andrew Matthews, co-founders Proctor and Matthews Architects.

The presentation will focus on the design by Proctor and Matthews Architects for a recently completed residential development at Wilkinson’s Brook, Tyrrelstown, Fingal.

Taking initial inspiration from the historic Irish Clachan clusters, this project and other recent work looks to create low rise higher density neighbourhoods with a defined sense of place, identity and belonging : an approach which proffers an alternative to ubiquitous low density, car-dominated suburbia.

They will be joined by Dr. Eoin Flaherty, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, National University of Ireland Maynooth and author of ‘Rundale and 19th Century Irish Settlement: System, Space, and Genealogy’ for conversation.

Supported by Patrick McCabe Architects
