Podcasts about grafton architects

In the podcast Emmett Scanlon talks to James Albert Martin and Eibhlín Ní Chathasaigh, who together with Anne Dorthe Vester and Maria Bruun are Soil Lab. In September 2021, Soil Lab unveiled their installation on a vacant lot in Chicago as part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. In the podcast the pair discuss the project from the initial idea which, after an open call from the Danish Arts Foundation, was to make a housing for a ceramic kiln on the site, and all the way through to the opening. They share the obvious logistic challenges of making a project like this from Denmark and Ireland and in America, especially during a pandemic. However, challenging as it was, it is clear the team remain enthused, emboldened and engaged with and by the work and all that unfolded day by day across the project, and in particular how the project was enriched by the participation of residents and others who live and work adjacent to the site. James begins by telling us about the Chicago Architecture Biennial and from their pair talk directly and honestly about what happened, what they learned, and a little about what might be next. More about the project here: https://www.instagram.com/soillabnorthlawndale ABOUT SOIL LAB The Soil Lab project team is made up of three architects, James Albert Martin, Eibhlín Ní Chathasaigh, and Anne Dorthe Vester, and one designer, Maria Bruun, working across different scales, materials, and disciplines. James, Eibhlín, and Anne Dorthe studied together at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark and have since collaborated on several projects. James and Eibhlín are based in Dublin, where they have both worked for internationally renowned architecture firms. Maria and Anne Dorthe are based in Copenhagen, where they founded the studio MBADV in 2013. Their practice with MBADV is at the intersection of architecture, design, and fine art. The project team comes together around a belief in making as a collaborative act: making moments, and making spaces and places for people to gather, to celebrate, and to treasure space. Eibhlín Ní Chathasaigh graduated from the Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark, in 2011. Since graduating she has worked for Atelier Peter Zumthor in Switzerland and Grafton Architects in Dublin, Ireland. In 2018, Eibhlín joined James and Anne Dorte in participating in the REFORM Design Biennale with their collaboration Woven Construct, constructed in the garden of Munkeruphus Center of Contemporary Art, in Zealand, Denmark. Eibhlín believes imagination is the central strength of architecture and is interested in the social act of architecture and design as a collaborative conversation. It is with great pleasure that, together with the people of North Lawndale and the Soil Lab team, she embarks on transforming a vacant lot in West Chicago into a new public space. James Albert Martin is a registered architect with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and Grade 3 Accredited in Architectural Conservation. He has taught at The Aarhus School of Architecture and at University College Dublin where he is currently a Design Fellow. James is interested in the act of making, and his work is informed by this collaborative act. James holds a MA from The Aarhus School of Architecture and has also undertaken courses in joinery at Capellagården - a school for craft and design. Since graduating he has worked with international studios; Sou Fujimoto Architects, Herzog & de Meuron, and Grafton Architects. In 2018, James, Eibhlín, and Anne Dorte participated in REFORM Design Biennale with their collaboration Woven Construct, a seat, a screen, space, which they constructed in the garden of Munkeruphus, north of Copenhagen.

In this episode Nana Biamah Ofosu and Andrew Clancy interview Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell of Grafton Architects. Nana is a tutor in the Kingston School of Art, leading studies into precedent and the lessons found in territorial Ghanaian architecture as part of her Second Year Studio. Grafton Architects are the current Pritzker Laureates, an accolade that arrives as they appear to be gathering pace with a remarkable series of university buildings completed in the last few years, and more on the way. At the heart of Graftons practice is a concern for the human aspects of architecture - how it is made, how it affects those who use it, and how it speaks to the society that it forms a part of. In this discussion Shelley and Yvonne discuss their education, those critical first few projects, and how they have navigated their career since then. They reflect on the sensibilities that underlie their remarkable buildings, and what they see as key challenges facing the disipline today. https://www.graftonarchitects.ie/ —— Credits: Register is the Research Centre in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london Head of Department: Mary Johnson Producer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy Interviewer: Andrew Clancy / Nana Biamah Ofosu Editor: Andrew Clancy Music: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture

This week we are saying congratulations to Dublin-based Grafton Architects who have won the 2020 Pritzker prize, the first two women to share what is regarded internationally as architecture’s highest honour. Grafton Architects caught our attention a long time ago as they have some great ideas on how to make our world low-carbon at street level.  With Extinction Rebellion, increases in carbon tax, and the Green Party playing a significant part in our new government, we thought this  would be a great opportunity to replay our interview from last year with founder Yvonne Farrell, who spoke to our editor Niall Kitson.

The highest honor in architecture has gone to two designers from Ireland. The 2020 Pritzker Architecture Prize was awarded in March to Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, co-founders of the Dublin design firm Grafton Architects. We speak with Farrell and McNamara. Also, Ernest Hemingway quarantined with both his Wife and his mistress. Host Robin Young speaks to Lesley Blume about her article "How Hemingway Quarantined (Hint: It Was with his Wife, his Mistress, his Son and the Nanny)."

Esse ano vai, galera! Olha aí o outro timing bom. Seguido da premiação do Pritzker 2020, tivemos o Dia da Mulher, e agora o mais aguardado momento da semana, nosso episódio sobre mulheres na arquitetura e o Pritzker! Mandamos muito bem! ● Yvonne Farrell e Shelley McNamara são as representantes da maior premiação da arquitetura no mundo, e mostraram que para ser um starchitect nos dias de hoje já é exigido um maior envolvimento do arquiteto com seus projetos e locais onde eles estão inseridos, com foco principal em quem vai usar seus espaços projetados ● Arquitetura de Boteco por Helena Tourinho e Vinícius Lopacinski ● Foto do Urban Institute of Ireland projeto da Grafton Architects com nossa aplicação

With Extinction Rebellion and increases in carbon tax, we are more aware than ever of our role in stopping climate change. But what would a low-carbon world look like at street level? Dr Yvonne Farrell from Grafton Architects has some fantastic ideas they implement in their designs.

In this episode we are in conversation with Yvonne Farrell and Shelly McNamara of Grafton architects. They joined us in Richview for a student led event to celebrate them being awarded the Ulysses medal from UCD for their achievements in architecture. Previous recipients of the award include the architect Kevin Roche. In this episode Yvonne and Shelly discuss with Eoghan and Kate, two students here in Richview, about their time studying architecture, how their work and practice has evolved and some of the challenges that will be facing students as they enter the profession of architecture. Thank you to Gareth Smyth for editing the podcast.

Shortly after Grafton Architects won RIBA's inaugural International Prize for their UTEC campus in Lima, Peru, I spoke with the firm's director, Yvonne Farrell, to get the backstory to the project and discuss how the award might affect the firm in the long run. As an academic building, UTEC joins a rich collection of other institutional projects by the Dublin-based Grafton.  

Yvonne Farrell & Shelley McNamara si sono diplomate allo University College di Dublino e nel 1977 nella stessa città hanno fondato lo studio Grafton Architects. Sono state docenti allo University College di Dublino e professori invitati in diverse scuole di architettura internazionali. I progetti dello studio sono stati esposti alla Biennale di Venezia del 2002 e alla Mies van der Rohe Award Exhibition del 2003. Yvonne Farrell & Shelley McNamara hanno realizzato edifici residenziali, scolastici, pubblici e vari progetti a scala urbana. Hanno vinto il concorso internazionale per la nuova sede dell’Università Bocconi di Milano –completato nel 2008 – e nel 2012 hanno ricevuto il Leone d’Argento alla 13. Mostra Internazionale di Architettura di Venezia per il progetto del nuovo campus dell’Università di Lima in Perù.

L' incontro fa parte del ciclo MI/ARCH | 8 Lezioni Pubbliche di Architettura Urbana. Yvonne Farrell e Shelley McNamara sono entrambe laureate in architettura all'University College di Dublino, hanno dato vita fin dal 1978 allo studio Grafton Architects a Dublino. Entrambe sono membri del RIAI (Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland), del RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architecs) e sono state elette nella Aosdána, la prestigiosa Irish Art Organization. Dal 1976 al 2002 hanno insegnato alla School of Architecture dell'University College di Dublino sono state visiting porfessors all'Accademia d'Archittettura di Mendrisio e all'EPFL di Losanna. Hanno tenuto la cattedra di Kenzo Tange alla GSD di Harvard e di Louis Kahn a Yale. Nel 2002 hanno rappresentato l'Irlanda alla Biennale di Venezia e nel 2012 hanno vinto il Leone d'argento. Tra i numerosi premi internazionali c'è anche il World Building of the Year Award nel 2008 per l'ampliamento dell'Università Luigi Bocconi di Milano, che è ormai riconosciuta a livello internazionale come un modello. Oggi lavorano al progetto della nuova Facoltà di Economia dell'Université Toulouse 1 Capitole e al nuovo campus universitario dell'UTEC di Lima. Nel 2009, con l'edificio per il Dipartimento delle finanze a Dublino, si sono aggiudicate il Civic trust Award e l'Architectural Association of Ireland Special Award. A Milano hanno realizzato l'ampliamento dell'Università Bocconi: diversi corpi di fabbrica che ospitano aule per la didattica, uffici, una biblioteca e la grande aula magna, racchiusi da una cortina di pietra che all'interno si collegano creando dei pozzi di luce che raggiungono anche livelli posti a nove metri sotto il suolo.

Since 2008, more than half the world’s population now lives in cities. For Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell, co-founders of Grafton Architects, “what we build as Architects constructs the world we live in. It defines our world. It is the outer crust of the globe. Architecture is the expression and embodiment of Culture. What we build as Architects is in fact the New Geography.”
