Updates...

Since the exhibition has gone up, the project has managed to attract some attention online. From RTs on Twitter, to notices on architecturenow.ie and architecturefoundation.ie, a piece on BLDGBLOG (April 15th) and ArchDaily (April 29th), and an interview with Eoin O'Mahony of 53degrees.wordpress.com in Richview (April 17th).

All of this has meant much more traffic on the site and some possible opportunities for more exposure on the horizon. Funding, being the elusive goal, gives all of this real significance.

With the exhibition to come down in the next week, I'm looking ahead to new work. There will be a run of Dublin's water towers posted towards the end of May, starting with this one in Bray...

Exhibition Opened!

Hugely successful night in Richview yesterday. Once again, thanks to everyone who helped out and showed up for the opening. There's been an extension beyond this Friday, until 22nd April. It may even go beyond this... So no excuses!

Photos and video from the opening are on the way, until then here it is almost finished...

Exhibition Invitation...

New tower proposed at Coxtown, Co. Waterford.

Here is part of an article about the opposition to the new water tower, from this week's Munster Express.

UCD, Dublin

Exhibition... again!

So I've gotten the go ahead! It'll be happening after Easter at Richview, UCD in the room pictured above.

Dates and times to follow...

Exhibition...

This is an initial sketch layout for a potential exhibition in April.

Hopefully this will go ahead. I think it would be a good way of giving back some momentum to the project and maybe even help find some funding.

More details when I have them!

Water Towers on Street View...

Thanks to the recent Google launch the water tower map is all the more interactive.

Enjoy!

Report

Managed to find an easier way to allow access to the list than taking up a whole page of the blog.

So here it is in google doc form.

Report

The 6 weeks of travel being well and truly over I am currently compiling the information into various reports. This will come mainly in list form with the links to this blog and the google map backing it up. All of this sees the end of phase one of this project with the second and final phase to begin next June. These reports will appear here over the coming days, though their form is yet to be decided...

Until then enjoy this amazing photograph I found of the UCD Belfield tower under construction.
