We are presently designing the East Quadrangle phase of NovaUCD at Merville House. This follows our work on the earlier phases of Nova at Merville House in 2002-2006.

Merville House is a remarkable building which resonates strongly a unique sense of place. This feeds positively into the entrepreneurial culture of University College Dublin Nova.

The East Quadrangle will complement Nova Innovation Centre at Merville House and further increases the visibility of this key university activity which promotes innovation from within academia.

GPO Witness History has won the Micheletti Award 2017 from the European Museum Academy at the Awards Ceremony in Skopje, Macedonia.  The Luigi Micheletti Award is the European prize for innovative museums in the world of contemporary history, industry and science. It is one of the leading activities of the Luigi Micheletti Foundation.

The judges said : The Centre is a perfect example of 20th century history in retrospect, dealing in an even-handed way with a very emotive subject, which would have been impossible even a decade ago. It is an extraordinary achievement, an historical challenge with has been transformed into a reconciliation centre which also poses questions for the future. Our warmest congratulations go to the whole team.

Kavanagh Tuite send their congratulations to Mark Leslie and all at Martello Media.

CUNDALL SEMINAR

We enjoyed the Cundall 'Beyond Zero' seminar yesterday on how we can be net positive in the office, at home, on projects and in the community.

The seminar was held in Wood Quay, and included the incredible statistic that Qatar's daily electricity consumption could power Sierra Leone for a year.
