The Irish Times

The geographical location of this island is frequently mirrored by a cultural isolation in which there appears to be little or no awareness of developments elsewhere in Europe. Hence the widespread welcome which should be extended to an exhibition currently running at the Office of Public Works's Dublin headquarters. This show ought to be seen by anyone interested in contemporary architecture. It should certainly be made compulsory viewing for elected members and employees of the state's local authorities who are responsible for urban planning and development, if only to let them see just how very limited and inadequate many of their interventions in this field have been to date.
