Irish success at world architect congress

The Irish Times

Irish architects triumphed in Berlin last night, receiving two prizes from their international peers at the World Congress of Architecture. The Group '91 architects behind the redevelopment of Temple Bar were presented with an award for "giving the streets back to the pedestrians". Mr Justin Kilcullen, the director of Trócaire, was honoured for "improving the quality of human settlements". The awards were presented by the Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA), which represents 200,000 architects worldwide. Its jury praised Group '91 for "10 years of intensive work, developing a subtle awareness of the spirit of the Temple Bar district" and a successful partnership with Dublin city authorities.
