Join the judges of the AR Public awards 2024 and DLR Architects Department and A2 Architects in conversation about the Dún Laoghaire Baths.
Winner of the AR Public awards 2024, DLR Architects Department and A2 Architects, will present their winning project, the Dún Laoghaire Baths, on Thursday 8 August in an online event at 12.30pm BST.
The presentation will be followed by conversation with this year’s AR Public judges, Ricky Burdett, professor of urban studies at the London School of Economics; Aziza Chaouni, associate professor of architecture at the University of Toronto and the founding principal of the design practice Aziza Chaouni Projects; and Günther Vogt, founder of Vogt Landscape Architects.
The judges said: ‘The architecture and outdoor spaces of the Dún Laoghaire Baths are powerfully designed to resist an unrelenting force of nature: the sea. The buildings and promenade nevertheless convey an inviting atmosphere.’
‘The materials seek a dialogue with the rocks in the surf – cast from gravel, water and cement, they appear like geological formations, both materially and in terms of the dimensions of the individual parts.’
