Connecting architecture and literature, a city-wide festival commission titled SLOW READ HERE for the International Literature Festival Dublin 2019. A site-specific intervention across 14 sites, conceived as a contemporary rustication, a type of architectural finishing commonly found across Dublin’s older buildings to ‘slow’ the reading of space. Starting at the Irish Architecture Foundation and ending at the Irish Architectural Archive the work could be found on windows, hoardings and objects, set to gently encourage new street-level stories and a fresh perspective to the city’s new, old and fragile architectures.
