If, hypothetically, someone was going to Dublin for a few days at the end of the month, what C20 buildings are worth visiting?

Found it quite hard to find anything online about this library - not even featured in the practice's own online archive! I'd love to know more about the design if anyone on here knows anything. #architecture

Designed by architect Ronald H Sims and built 1967-69, its a highly unusual example of post-war church architecture.

What circular, super-low carbon architecture looks like.
➡️ Reused concrete flooring.
➡️ Spruce structure constructed without glue, or nails.
➡️ Cork facade and rammed earth partitions.

Feels strange having an event as climactic as the Architecture and Civil Engineering Ball less than halfway through final year, but also a fitting conclusion to my final group project at Bath! @uniofbath.bsky.social #architecture

In a similar Festival of Britain style is Central Parade on Hoe St, Walthamstow. Designed by borough architect F.G. Southgate and completed in 1958, the parade features decorative tiles, wavy canopies and iron railings

Never forget, it doesn’t take much to add some smiles and surprises to your city. Just a civic culture of fun and creativity, or at least a culture of not getting in the way of fun and creativity. Is that YOUR city?

Did you know there is a commemorative manhole cover in Whitechapel celebrating the defeat of the 2017 fatberg?
To find it: head west out of the station along the north side of the High Street, it's by the pedestrian crossing in-line with the far end of the hospital opposite.

And!!!!
There’s no mortar being laid between these blocks.

On the train from Cardiff to Bristol and everyone's phones went off in sync coming out of the Severn Tunnel. Felt mildly apocalyptic 😬

Does anyone know the artist behind this jazzy version of what I think is "We Three Kings"? I've been listening to this little snippet on repeat 🎄
I'm hoping if enough people repost we'll find someone who knows it!
