Cork Flood Defences - Option 4: The future of Morrison’s Island according to A2 Architects

As Cork City Council and the Office of Public Works draw up plans to erect controversial flood defences in the city centre, the Irish Examiner brings you an alternative view. All this week, we highlight the shortlisted entries to the Save Cork City competition to unlock the potential of Morrisson’s Island in the heart of the city centre and reimagine what its future might hold. Some are brave. Some are bold. But all are designed to spark debate. The overall winner will be revealed in the Irish Examiner next Monday.

In the fourth part of our series featuring entries to the redesigning of Morrison’s Island, A2 Architects outline the thinking behind their designs

This proposal seeks to unlock opportunity and potential, advance knowledge, and develop collaborative expertise across architecture, engineering and landscape design through an integrated design solution that is specific to Cork City.
