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).
