International jury to select winner of Morrison’s Island redesign

The design brief was to reimagine and renew the public space at Fr Matthew and Morrison’s Quay — the historic centre of Cork, but also one of the most flood prone areas of the city.

The €10,000 competition, organised by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland southern region and the Cork Architectural Association, attracted entries from across the world including Italy, Norway, UK, Finland, Australia, Qatar, the US and all over Ireland.

The winner, runner-up and third place entry will be chosen by an international jury and announced in the Irish Examiner on Monday.
