Description

Headquartered in Dublin, Grafton Architects was founded in 1978 by Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell. Over four decades, they have built up an impressive roster of buildings and accomplishments. This monographic feature looks back on their development and body of work, presenting key projects such as the Dublin City Library, Solstice Arts Centre, Dunshaughlin Civic Offices, Luigi Bocconi University, and the Marshall Building at the London School of Economics. In addition, essays by Hugh Campbell, Fintan O’Toole, Edward McParland, and the architects themselves lend depth and insight into their attitudes towards architecture and design.
