Palimpsest: Intervention and Change in Irish Architecture- is a radical re-appraisal of the Irish architectural tradition, showing that many buildings which seem complete are actually the outcome of careful and intelligent change carried out over several generations- a mark of cultural and social continuities in Irish history and an striking example of sustainable re-use. Palimpsest is heavily illustrated with drawings and photographs of Irish buildings and structures which will, in the main, be unfamiliar to an interested public. The book is itself a Palimpsest- a new edition of a small book about the same subject first published in 1994; this edition has been re-designed by Conor and David; it also places the work in a European context and demonstrates the relevance of the approach in contemporary architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780951536452\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39820507938968,"sku":"CY-5S1Y-74J1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/513eHph2WML.jpg?v=1619457668","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/palimpsest-intervention-and-change-in-irish-architecture","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
