Diagrams illustrate the changing face of Cork

Hand-drawn architectural diagrams by two men who helped shape the face of Cork are to go on public display for the first time.

The Chillingworth and Levie Collection, which comprises of nearly 4,000 drawings dating from 1911 to the early 1980s, will be unveiled at the =Cork City and County Archives Building in Blackpool tomorrow. The exhibition is accompanied by a five-week lecture series to highlight the city’s modern architecture and consider its historical context.

The exhibition curator, architectural and landscape historian Louise Harrington, said the collection is an important repository of information on the modern architecture of Cork City.
