Irish-Architecture
The years when architecture had to struggle to distinguish itself from mere building now seem so yesterday, darling. Today, the architectural avant-garde resembles nothing so much as the world of fashion, such is its superficial pursuit of endless celebrity and global branding. Nobody seems to mind too much about architecture′s increasingly short shelf life. It is as if, in an era obsessed with youth and afraid of ageing, architecture - one of the most enduring measures of society′s aspirations - must deny its fundamental nature.
