In this uniquely comprehensive guide to the buildings of central Dublin, the city’s churches, public buildings, and streets are described for every district in lively detail. The entire area within the canals is covered as well, along with the Phoenix Park. Illustrations include numerous maps, plans, and new color photographs. Dublin’s grand eighteenth-century set-pieces—Custom House, Four Courts, Bank of Ireland—are offset by a graceful Georgian cityscape, much of which remains intact. Rich and varied house interiors are also treated in full, many for the first time. The book features civic and commercial Victorian architecture, post-war buildings, and the buildings of a new generation of Irish architects. Two fine Gothic cathedrals remain from the medieval city, the full history of which is traced in an introduction to the volume.For all who share an interest in the fabric of Dublin—architect or historian, tourist or armchair traveller—this is the essential work.

The materials and craftsmanship that shaped the look of eighteenth-century architecture in Britain and IrelandThis book uncovers the overlooked material practices that were crucial to architectural production in the eighteenth century. Centred on the architecture of England and Ireland, it examines the facing materials that define the distinctive character of cities and regions.Focusing on the final stages of construction—the external façade and interior finishes in stone, plaster, and wood—Architecture and Artifice combines archival research with insights from architectural conservation to reveal the hidden techniques behind these structures. It explores the lives of craftsmen, uncovering the unwritten standards that guided their work, and argues for the agency of materials and craft in shaping the meanings of eighteenth-century buildings.Featuring a cast of lesser-known craftsmen alongside new perspectives on such iconic structures as Chatsworth, the Cambridge Senate House, and Dublin’s Parliament House, the book introduces a wealth of previously unpublished archival material and uncovers the processes and people behind the era’s most enduring buildings.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
