The purpose of these awards is to encourage higher standards of architecture throughout the country and to inform the public of emerging directions in contemporary architecture. Other recipients on the night included the Toulouse School of Economics and Saclay pour l'Institut Mines-Télécom in Paris by Grafton Architects and the Hanging Gardens in Limerick by Carr Cotter Naessens and Denis Byrne Architects.
This prize adds onto the scheme's previous accolades from The Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, The Irish Council for Social Housing, Construction Excellence and from the Irish Green Buildings Council.
