inclusive landscapes

ILI spring Lecture series:

unbuilding

Alan Mee is invited by the Irish Landscape Institute to open the 2010 Public Lecture Series with a positive yet critical view to responding to a decade of unique opportunity. Research for 'Unbuilding' grew initially out of an invitation to speak at SAUL (School of Architecture, University of Limerick) in January 2009. Alan Mee Architects examined the context for thinking about taking away, or 'Unbuilding' some of the development which has taken place inappropriately in Ireland in recent years. The presentation deals with definitions, scale, methodologies of analysis, and the economic context for the proposal.
