Shane de Blacam is partner at De Blacam and Meagher, an architectural practice he founded together with John Meagher in 1976. Their work includes churches, university buildings, libraries, theatres, housing and more. Their projects are united by a commitment to simplicity, and a careful attention to detail and materials. In 2010 and in 2018 de Blacam and Meagher represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale.

Published on the occasion of the 2023 RA Architecture Prize Lecture, this volume consists of four outsized loose leaf folio books in a Solander box.

Book 1 - CIRCLE - Munster Technological University

Book 2 - WORKS - Buildings and Projects of de Blacam and Meagher

Book 3 - CORNER - The Corner of St Stephens Green and Earlsfort Terrace Dublin

Book 4 - HOUSES

Requests to purchase the books from the RIAI bookshop will be in place in Galway - we have prepaid postage stamps which we can give to those interested in making a purchase which would mean that postage within Ireland would be free.

.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.

Event Organiser

Brock Finucane is led by Nicci Brock and Ruairi Finucane.  The practice is engaged in research, design and education. .Way collaborators are Lucas Dobbin, Sarah Fox, Rodhlann Mossop, James Mooney, Alex Pollock.
