Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

This book presents an architectural overview of Dublin’s mass-housing building boom from the 1930s to the 1970s. During this period Dublin Corporation built tens of thousands of two-storey houses developing whole communities from virgin sites and green fields at the city’s edge while tentatively building four-storey flat blocks in the city centre. Author Ellen Rowley examines how and why this endeavour occurred. Asking questions around architectural and urban obsolescence she draws on national political and social histories as well as looking at international architectural histories and the influence of post-war reconstruction programmes in Britain or the symbolisation of the modern dwelling within the formation of the modern nation. Critically the book tackles this housing history as an architectural and design narrative. It explores the role of the architectural community in this frenzied provision of housing for the populace. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings and photographs from contemporary journals and the private archives of Dublin-based architectural practices this book will appeal to academics and researchers interested in the conditions surrounding Dublin’s housing history. | Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Bryozoan Studies 2022 contains nineteen papers presented at the 19th International Conference of the International Bryozoology Association held at Trinity College Dublin in August 2022. Bryozoans are complex and fascinating colonial organisms that range from Cambrian to the present day and which are found in marine and freshwater environments from pole to pole and subtidal to abyssal. Recent tomographic techniques have revolutionised the study of modern and fossil taxa where internal structures are revealed through non-destructive methodologies. Here the internal structure of some Ordovician and Eocene taxa is illustrated through these methods. Phylogenetic studies of bryozoans question the classic classification of the group; here the phylogeny of species from California and Japan is described. Other topics covered are assessments of Recent faunas from Haiti and fossil assemblages from Mexico and the United States. Distributional patterns from the Arctic and New Zealand and the dispersal patterns of bryozoans on rafted pumice and on slipper lobsters are characterised. Further contributions provide descriptions of a rare Permian taxon clarification of species assigned to the Upper Palaeozoic genus Stenopora avicularia in Wilbertopora enigmatic structures in a fenestrate bryozoan repair structures in trepostomes and an assessment of skeletonisation in the families of Palaeozoic orders. | Bryozoan Studies 2022 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH INTERNATIONAL BRYOZOOLOGY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (DUBLIN IRELAND 22-26 AUGUST 2022)

Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Frederick Douglass spent four months in Ireland at the end of 1845 that proved to be in his own words ‘transformative’. He reported that for the first time in his life he felt like a man and not a chattel. Whilst in residence he became a spokesperson for the abolition movement but by the time he left the country in early January 1846 he believed that the cause of the slave was the cause of the oppressed everywhere. This book adds new insight into Frederick Douglass and his time in Ireland. Contemporary newspaper accounts of the lectures that Douglass gave during his tour of Ireland (in Dublin Wexford Waterford Cork Limerick and Belfast) have been located and transcribed. The speeches are annotated and accompanied by letters written by Douglass during his stay. In this way for the first time we hear Douglass in his own words. | Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Charles Villiers Stanford

Charles Villiers Stanford

The first book devoted to the composer Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) since 1935 this survey provides the fullest account of his life and the most detailed appraisal of his music to date. Renowned in his own lifetime for the rapid rate at which he produced new works Stanford was also an important conductor and teacher. Paul Rodmell assesses these different roles and considers what Stanford's legacy to British music has been. Born and brought up in Dublin Stanford studied at Cambridge and was later appointed Professor of Music there. His Irish lineage remained significant to him throughout his life and this little-studied aspect of his character is examined here in detail for the first time. A man about whom no-one who met him could feel indifferent Stanford made friends and enemies in equal numbers. Rodmell charts these relationships with people and institutions such as Richter Parry and the Royal College of Music and discusses how they influenced Stanford's career. Perhaps not the most popular of teachers Stanford nevertheless coached a generation of composers who were to revitalize British music amongst them Coleridge-Taylor Ireland Vaughan-Williams Holst Bridge and Howells. While their musical styles may not be obviously indebted to Stanford's it is clear that without him British music of the first half of the twentieth century might have taken a very different course.

Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project

Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project

This volume is based on possibly the biggest single Europe-wide project in urban history. In 1955 the International Commission for the History of Towns established the European historic towns atlas project in accordance with a common scheme in order to encourage comparative urban studies. Although advances in urban archaeology since the 1960s have highlighted the problematic relationship between the oldest extant town plan and the actual origins of a town the large-scale cadastral maps as they have been made available by the European historic towns atlas project are still necessary if we want to understand the evolution of the physical form of our towns. By 2014 the project consisted of over 500 individual publications from over 18 different countries across Europe. Each atlas comprises at least a core-map at the scale of 1:2500 analytical maps and an explanatory text. The time has come to use this enormous database that has been compiled over the last 40 years. This volume itself based on a conference related to this topic that was held in the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin in 2006 takes up this challenge. The focus of the volume is on the question of how seigneurial power influenced the creation of towns in medieval Europe and of how this process in turn influenced urban form. Part I of the volume addresses two major issues: the history of the use of town plans in urban research and the methodological challenges of comparative urban history. Parts II and III constitute the core of the book focusing on the dynamic relationship between lordship and town planning in the core area of medieval Europe and on the periphery. In Part IV the symbolic meaning of town plans for medieval people is discussed. Part V consists of critical contributions by an archaeologist an art historian and an historical geographer. By presenting case studies by leading researchers from different European countries this volume combines findings that were hitherto not available in English | Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project
