ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is dedicated to the work of the Architecture & Time Research & Innovation seminar in the School of Architecture in University College Dublin, which has been running since 2013. This seminar investigates the effects of time on the material and symbolic properties of architecture. Below is a selection of student work.

Stephen Mulhall is an Assistant Lecturer in the School of Architecture in University College Dublin. Stephen runs nineteeneighty, a design studio focusing on film, research and architecture & design. His research interests are film, mapping, art & architecture, architecture & time and spatial agency.

Stephen Mulhall has previously co-tutored Mapping & Morphology seminars with Merlo Kelly since 2011, focusing on Newmarket in Dublin, the river Poddle, and the interrelationship between walking and mapping. Stephen previously co-tutored Mapping Matters with Aoibheann Ní Mhearáin, a seminar which explored the multiple nature of maps and the art of mapping, premised on the current ubiquity and accessibility of maps, as well as a concurrent theoretical interest in the creative potential of mapping practices. The seminar examined cartographic theory through image and place, the agency of mapping, and exploring the mapping of Ireland. The seminar also examined personal geographies through mapping in film and literature, mapping the everyday, and an overall reconsideration of maps.
