St Mary’s Medieval Mile Museum |  McCullough Mulvin Architects | Via

Mary’s Church in Kilkenny has been converted into the Medieval Mile Museum. The building is the starting point of the ‘Medieval Mile’ trail and houses the city’s Civic Treasures and displays many important carved limestone tombs and funerary monuments from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The project combines sensitive restoration and contemporary design to an exemplary standard. The medieval building, originally constructed in the 13th Century, required some extension for the display of artifacts in a controlled environment and the project became an experiment in the use of archaeology to help define an architectural solution.

The new elements are made of timber and lead, lead’s soft malleability a foil to Irish grey stone and sky. The project worked with the nature of the building, providing a new stone floor, repairing materials, leaving exposed a large section of the original medieval timber roof which acts as a focus in the plan. The chancel had historically been reduced in size and the nave originally had aisles. Archaeological excavations revealed the presence of extant foundations under the earth. New structures were placed on these, amplifying the spatial complexity of the building and developing a sequence of internal spaces.

Wexford Opera House, Ireland Music Venue

Wexford Opera House Building

Concert Hall Building in Ireland: National Music Venue design by Keith Williams Architects

7 September 2021

National Opera House Wexford

Location: Wexford, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland

Design: Keith Williams Architects

As part of KWA’s 20 year retrospective of their work we are pleased to feature Ireland’s multi-award winning National Opera House in Wexford:

2005-2008

County Wexford, Ireland

The re-building of Wexford’s opera house by Keith Williams Architects and the Office of Public Works, was one of Ireland’s most important cultural regeneration projects of the first decade of the 21st century.

The multi-award winning venue, constructed in the heart of medieval maritime Wexford, contains the O’Reilly Theatre (780 – 855 seats), full flytower and backstage and the Jerome Hynes, a transformable second space of 170 seats, together with rehearsal, production facilities, bars, café and foyer spaces.

Carefully integrated into the historic fabric of Wexford’s medieval centre behind reinstated terraced buildings, the scale of the building and its contribution to Wexford’s silhouette only becomes apparent when viewed from the harbour. From there the new flytower appears in the skyline alongside the spires of Wexford’s two Pugin inspired churches, announcing the presence of an exceptional new cultural building in the historic townscape.

Though primarily conceived for Wexford’s autumn opera festival, the house operates as a year round arts venue, for additional Wexford Festival productions and visiting companies.

Described as one of the great small opera houses of the world, with exceptional acoustic performance, the building was officially designated as Ireland’s National Opera House in 2014.

Among many awards, the building was shortlisted for the RIAI Triennial Gold Medal 2017, and provided the base from which Wexford Festival Opera has excelled, going on to win the Best Festival Award at the 2017 International Opera Awards.

Wexford Opera House in Ireland

Location: Wexford, County Wicklow, Ireland

Design: Keith Williams Architects with the OPW

The home of the internationally recognised Wexford Festival Opera designed by Keith Williams Architects with the OPW, has recently been officially recognised by the Irish Government as Ireland’s National Opera House.

During Wexford’s annual autumn opera festival, the announcement of the renaming of the multi-award winning opera house was made on the stage of the 771 seat main auditorium by Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys, to the capacity audience at the festival’s official opening.

Ms Humphreys said she was delighted to give her “full support to the renaming of Wexford Opera House as the National Opera House. I have asked my officials to work with Wexford and the Arts Council to put this into effect, in recognition of Wexford’s position as the home of Ireland’s only custom-built opera house.”

Wexford Festival Opera Theatre Royal officially opened in 2008 and remains Ireland’s only custom-built Opera House, winning numerous national and international architectural awards. It is a year-round cultural receiving house for opera and also for multi-disciplinary performance art-forms, and is the home of Wexford Festival Opera, one of the leading opera Festivals in the world, each year attracting audiences from Ireland and abroad who travel to Wexford to experience this unique celebration of opera.

The new designation for the Wexford Opera House, which opened in 2008, means Ireland will no longer be the only country in the EU not to have a national opera house, and underlines Wexford’s status as one of Europe’s leading opera companies.

David McLoughlin, Chief Executive of Wexford Festival Opera said: “The official recognition of Wexford as Ireland’s National Opera House will help secure a legacy in opera in Ireland for generations to come, but perhaps more importantly deservedly recognises the State’s previous significant investment in the creation of what has been internationally acclaimed as ‘the best small opera house in the world’.” Congratulations are very much due to Keith Williams Architects for their superb building.

Keith Williams, Founder and Director of Design at Keith Williams Architects said: “Naturally we are thrilled that Wexford is now officially Ireland’s National Opera House. Such buildings are where art and architecture meet in a very profound way. Wexford Opera has won so many major international awards for the unique qualities of its festival and the excellence of its productions, and I am very proud of the building and the part it has played in Wexford’s success.”

What's rendering?

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on not having to know what that means. That’s an indication that you may be 0.1% happier in life than a person that knows exactly what I mean.Rendering is this cool and equally terrifying process of modelling something digitally and letting a program “render it” to make it look like what you would see irl if it were to be made.It’s a computer generated image, basically, that looks realistic.Let me give you an example

This is not a real photograph. This is a render of a university extension in India by McCullough Mulvin Architects. x

This is a perfect nightmare. You see a beautiful image. I see sunlight, which is hell to get right and takes years (exaggeration for emphasis) to render. I see books in the shelves which means more lines, which means more time to generate the image. I see a mesh of some kind on the right, which takes forever to generate too. Not to mention the balustrade lines. So that’s rendering!
