Architects gather in Cork to 'breathe life back into our cities'

'Cork city, along with other cities in Ireland, is suffering from dereliction and the eradication of the high street'

The Wilson Architecture pavilion, part of Cork's Design POP, is located at city's Penrose Dock development, which has been part of the North Quay regeneration.

We can talk about one and walk through the other all we want. Derelict Ireland and our fast-disappearing high street, that is.

But last year, Jude Sherry and Frank O’Connor took action in Cork city. They founded Anois, a design consultancy concerned with sustainability and social justice.
