.Way is a body of research and examinations of potential futures for Mulranny proposed by a team of Architects, Landscape Architects, Artist and Educators.
Mulranny is a coastal community on the periphery. It is a town shaped geographically and culturally by movement. Overlooking the archipelago of drowned drumlin islands nestled in Clew Bay, it sits on a landscape formed on the margin of glacial systems and is shadowed by the vast Nephin mountain range. The town sits at the intersection of rural and wild. It once punctuated the landscape as Victorian tourist destination but is now a threshold town to the Corraun Peninsula, Mullet Peninsula and Achill Island. Subject to relentless weather fronts from the Atlantic, it is now enduring the increasing impacts of climate change.
Initially commissioned as a project to examine a spatial plan for Mulranny, the body of work has, and is extending to, research, test, and proposal – asking how we find our way through and situate ourselves in a moving landscape shaped and scarred by both the static and dynamic – infrastructure, settlement, climate, way.
