New blog post by me on the #Irish #architecture platform TYPE, just published today: www.type.ie/blog/stonine... It developed from my recent trip to Brno, where one can visit almost every room of the restored Villa Tugendhat, one of Mies van der Rohe's iconic earlier buildings.

Another excellent (free) article on TYPE by Graham Hickey: "Dublin’s greatest ‘known unknown’, our best kept public secret, is that the North Georgian Core is floundering in a deleterious cycle of substandard uses and ever-accelerating unauthorised development" www.type.ie/blog/dublins...
