Carol O’Callaghan previews an event in Cork attracting some of the biggest names and influencers in design and craft-making today

This period-era, mid-terrace home is full of character and enjoys the elevated views from Cork City’s Richmond Hill, writes Tommy Barker.

CORK CITY will have a new landmark design building later this year, in one of it most prominent settings - half way up the vertiginous St Patrick’s Hill. A school redevelopment there has been designed by the winners of the 2015 Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey.

The most prestigious award in world architecture, the RIBA Gold Medal, has been awarded to husband and wife team, O’Donnell Tuomey.

CORK’S Glucksman Gallery has been shortlisted for a prestigious British architecture award worth €30,000.
