Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / November 25 2004: Dance centre jigs the metaphors to step out in style

Many new practices work their way up from small domestic jobs to larger projects, often building up the skills to win a commission through competition. It seems someone was smiling on Daniel Cordier who, having left BDP's (Building Design Partnership) English office, after working there for 16 years, won a competition to build the new Irish World Performing Arts Village at University of Limerick.
