Building Material #20

Building Material 20 is the journal of the Architectural Association of Ireland, a unique peer-reviewed publication on the scholarship and practice of architecture in Ireland. Being the first edition to employ a process of double-blind peer reviewing for the submitted essays, the journal’s editorial board led by Michael K. Hayes, used this volume as an opportunity to reassess the publication’s overall intentions, its process and format of making and the possible directions it can lead in the future. From the physical matter used for building to the knowledge informing decision-making and the traditional means we rely upon to visualise architecture, this volume is centered around the ‘stuff’ of the architectural discipline.
