Memorial Gardens

Architects Mitchell + Associates have won a design competition for the Memorial Gardens in Inchicore, Dublin. Originally designed by eminent British architect Sir Edward Lutyens, the gardens commemorate aproximately 50,000 Irishmen who, having joined Commonwealth forces, were killed during the First World War. Not alone did Lutyens design both the gardens and mounuments, but also the entrance to it - Memorial Road - including the bridge, which originally created a formal access from Inchicore Road.
