The Irish Times

A major eight-part series on modern Irish architecture is being made for RTÉ television by an independent production company, Making Waves, with advice from the RIAI and sponsorship from the ESB. The series, entitled Nation Building, is intended as a watershed in Irish television because it will tell the story of modern Ireland in a radically different way, through its architecture, according to producer Cliona Kernan.

While Nation Building will celebrate the best of Ireland's modern architecture, it will also take a critical look at the environment we have created since achieving independence, she said. In other words, it will not be a "coffee table" series.
