Wexford County Council HQ among 34 buildings on shortlist for architecture awards

Swanky!

BELL TOWERS, BRIDGES, university buildings and even some home extensions are among the structures which have made the shortlist for this year’s Irish Architecture Awards.

To be eligible to enter, the project must have been certified as “practically complete” during the calendar year of 2011. Given the length of time it takes to finish major architectural work, many of the buildings give us a Celtic Tiger flashback (see: Wexford County Council Headquarters).

There are a total of 34 projects shortlisted by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) for the fifth annual awards and the public can now vote online for their favourite building from the following:
