Small Works, Belvedere College
Architect:
TAKA Architects
Award Type:
Irish Architecture Awards
Location:
Dublin
Small interventions in educational spaces rarely pack as much punch as these three interventions for Belvedere College. Identity, placemaking and improved pedagogy are each addressed in turn with simple and assured interventions that positively impact the lives of all who learn and teach there. Craft, invention, and attention to detail are here in abundance and the economy of means is evidence of an inherent skilfulness and an implicit understanding of the clients’ needs. This is excellent work and should serve as a model for others.
