Competition Winners Annnounced!

We are delighted to be among the 10 selected teams out of 90 entries in the Space for Learning competition. This means we will get to develop and adapt our work for the exhibition that will tour around Ireland this Autumn. Read the Irish Architecture Foundation press release here. We will meet up after the Easter break to begin preparation for the exhibition. Well done again to the St. Paul's team for your fantastic work!

Fourth Year Exhibition

This morning, the Space for Learning team exhibited their work to the whole school. Team members presented their models and drawings to students and teachers while our film was screened on a projector. Well done team!

IAF Submission

Yesterday, we submitted our Stage 2 exhibition proposal to the Irish Architecture Foundation. It comprises a custom made Display Table containing models of the students' Design Proposals with a monitor underneath, projecting our proposed Film onto a reflective glass screen. The film would be viewed from a Bench, designed and made by the students from recycled broken school tables and chairs. Wish us luck for Stage 2!

Week 7: Preparation for IAF Submission

It was a busy final week of Stage 1 of the Space for Learning competition. Michael, Sean W, James and Andrew came in to Strand Studio to work on their 1:50 models of their proposed Canteen and Common Room. Andrew made a 1:20 model of his Bench design that we propose to build for the exhibition if St. Paul's is chosen for Stage 2. Michael tweaked his 3D walk-through on Sketchup, which forms the backbone of our Film that takes you on a tour of these Design Proposals.
