Letter from Ireland: 15 projects to celebrate 2015, the Irish Year of Design

An architectural revival is underfoot in Ireland, driven by Irish Design 2015, a year-long government initiative promoting Irish design at home and abroad. The positive outlook is long overdue, after a difficult few years for the Irish construction industry. With opportunity restricted by the recession, Irish firms cast their nets further afield – and the results are paying off.

The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, in the next months, we will be looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. Ireland's Grafton Architects was featured in the magazine's first ever Architects Directory, in 2000, and has since grown exponentially in architectural output and influence, becoming, amongst other things, one of the world's go-to studios for inspiring education buildings. Here, we look at their School of Economics at Université Toulouse 1 Capitole in France.
