Dyadic conditions of
The
U niver sal
L
&
ocal
The Dyadic condition of ‘Universal’ and ‘Local’ is a layered composition of the two terms. Normally in the practice of architecture, the terminology is treated separately to describe something of a specific or general nature. I have found that the two terms have characteristics which share a relationship, that of type, material, construction, and site. When weaved together as a couple, varying concentrations of either term can be used to create delightful Dyadic conditions that have resonance. The methodology is based on personal experiences from context, investigations of site and critique of precedent. It can only be informed by following traditional attitudes of specific Local building culture and that of our contemporary global practice of architecture. The terms measurement, however, is not quantitative, it is very much a qualitative method. Through the act of building, complex Dyadic conditions are made by layering simple construction. These conditions are experiential and perceptual delights, moments that are offerings to be seen and felt, provoking familiar resonance and a sense of place.

Oranmore Social Gymnasium
The Oranmore Social Gymnasium is a multi-functional building housing a Train Station, Gym, Pool, Cafe, Creche, and Resource centre. This building sits in the anonymous Deerpark industrial estate at Oranmore, located 22kilometres outside of Galway on the West coast of Ireland. The brief is determined by preexisting programs already found at Deerpark industrial estate, those found in inadequate warehouse spaces. This site is carefully chosen to express the delightful qualities that are latent in the generic warehouse building culture and the specific local context, brought to the forefront are the powerful qualities of specific building cultural attitudes. Complex dyadic conditions are composed using these qualities, moments that allow people using this building to connect and find familiar aspects of a universal and local nature, bringing forth a sense of resonance and understanding of their context.

Red Barn Community Center
The Wonderful Barn project acted to purposefully engage with a built context, specifically the bizarre 17th-century grain store in Leixlip co Dublin. The architectural intervention is for the Red Barn community center, a building to be used by the residents of the surrounding suburban houses. Examining the Wonderful Barn’s type and structure it contains strong characteristics of a Universal and Local nature. The building type has a Universal conical form which perceptually has a certain Universal resonance. At the top of the barn is a viewing platform that looks out and gives the user a view over the Local landscape of Castletown estate, more folly than grain store. Specifically though the type and form a dialogue with the Wonderful Barn is made. This is exemplified through a similar centralized plan and the conical circulation ascending through the building.

Tokyo, Ireland House Embassy
Ireland house Tokyo is a second stage competition entry for the new Tokyo Irish embassy by Grafton architects. It is designed to receive and to welcome, the building does so by making an atmosphere that at once expresses the warmth of Irish people and formal diplomacy of an embassy. This idea develops as informal and formal conversation, a game of pragmatics within the building. The structure is composed of systems, these interlocking lend itself to a flexible type over time to respond to still remains homogeneous
a complex framework of reciprocal and overlapping concrete beams building. This allows the building changing circumstances but yet in spatial character and form.
By responding to the rights of lights on the building envelope, long verandas with gardens in the sky are made. Various pocket courtyards fall though the building teeming with flora and landscaping. The connection to nature is treated as a principal in the design of an essential element. The qualities expressed display warmth and composure both of the intricacy of structure and richness of materials. The atmosphere is at once warm and welcoming.

London Bridge Train Station
As part of the London Bridge team, my role with Grimshaw architects was to assist in the coordination of the construction phase and delivery of the project. The train station itself is designed to accommodate 90million users per year in a new expansive street-level concourse and operationally the project creates a unified site that includes extended platforms, integrated new street entrances, three new through tracks, fewer terminating platforms and convenient links to onward travel. During this time on the project, I gained invaluable experience, learning how to detail, conduct regular site visits and problem solve issues that arise during construction. Some of my responsibilities were: - Regularly resolving site technical queries (STQ’s). - Personally carrying out planning conditions under supervision of the project architect - Mock up models for subcontractor design reviews (SDR)

NEWM ARK Architects, Three houses
Predominately working at planning stage in Newmark architects, the main focus was to create or develop schemes for three housing projects Blackhorse Avenue, Dublin 7 House, and Howth House. These projects were developed primarily through models, using presentation client models, process models, and working models. Other duties than designing included documentation, website design, and organization of all current office projects. This role required photography of all office models and creating the initial website design for the company.
