OBSERVER ARTICLE
MARCH 2023
In Sunday's Observer Rowan Moore gives his critic of our new building the International Rugby Experience in Limerick. "The composition has all the elements of a palazzo pubblico in a medieval Italian city". The article can be viewed on the Guardian website here.
The International Rugby Experience is a new cultural institution and visitor experience to honour the worldwide game of rugby. Located in the heart of Limerick, this ambitious project seeks to reinvigorate the city centre, complement the existing local arts and heritage attractions and forge links with Munster rugby.
MESSUMS WILTSHIRE TALK
SEPTEMBER 2020
On the 12th September Niall will be part of a panel discussion alongside Peter Clegg, Piers Taylor and Jenny Jones. Chaired by Kate Goodwin ‘A Place Together’ will examine the future of the city centre and high rise architecture; airports and theme parks.
The discussion takes Elisabeth Frink’s reconstructed Woolland Studio – and her creative environment as the backdrop. A Place Apart (starts 10:30am) and A Place Together (starts 2pm), which recall Frink’s statement about her studio and solitary practice and a contrasting talk about how collective spaces need to be reimagined and how architecture is adapting to a post Covid-19 society.
