‘I love having it in the head, then seeing it being made’ Conor Faughnan sat down with Dermot Bannon, unquestionably the leading Irish voice in modern architectural design
This is an excerpt from an interview Conor Faughnan did with Dermot Bannon as part of the SeniorTimes podcast Series. To listen to the full interview, or to any of the now over 100 episodes of the SeniorTimes Podcast Series go to www.seniortimes.ie Family life.. I grew up in Malahide in North County Dublin with a brother and sister, my Dad was from Dungarvan and he moved up to Dublin to work in the Teagasc Research Center as a horticulturist and I think he spent the first ten years waiting for a transfer back down to Dungarvan but never got it and my mom was from just outside New Ross from a little town called Campile. So my memories of holidays as kids was us being put in the car to go down to Wexford or Waterford while a lot of my friends parents worked for Aer Lingus so they got free flights to Florida or where ever while we got free mushrooms! Looking back now though I have very fond memories of my granny’s old farm house which is still there.
