Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / May 27 2004: Future of architecture safe in clients' hands

There was much joking about how a gathering of architects is known as "a jealousy" of architects at the RIAI 2004 Architecture Awards on Monday night. This quip has probably passed its use-by date at this stage, as Irish architects have become more confident and the number of projects on offer has increased. There was none of the pomposity on show that has afflicted certain architects in their time. Members of the small community of designers in Ireland know each other well now and there is respect and friendship across practices. Awards ceremonies can bring out the worst in people but at the prize-giving in the OPW offices in St Stephen's Green, there was a supportive and friendly atmosphere, with people in competing categories congratulating each other.
