Architects create new forms, processes and artefacts. They examine the physical and cultural parameters, define the problems to be solved, and design solutions. These solutions often produce innovative objects and processes. In some cases, these solutions could be repeated and or shared to the benefit of the community, but are often left behind as a single instance of a bespoke commission. I'm interested in studying how the objects and defined processes produced for architectural projects can be prototyped, transferred and disseminated. The research explores of the interface between architects with builders, craftsmen and manufacturers - through the study of innovative objects made as a part of architectural craft and commissioned designs, and will examine the various methods of bringing these objects to market.
A current additional area of research: The adaptive re-use of the historic buildings & Irish demesne landscapes.
