2ha #05 considers the relationship between language and suburban space. Three essays respond to the fractured process of translation that has come to define the territory of suburbia.
2ha #05 considers the relationship between language and suburban space. Three essays respond to the fractured process of translation that has come to define the territory of suburbia. Liam Mac Mathúna outlines a history of linguistic change in the Dublin area, describing how preceding eras of colonisations and cultures have renamed, subverted, and built upon a place and its people. Emma Geoghegan documents the absence of a vocabulary in both the imagination and critique of space on the urban-rural fringe, suggesting that a consideration of this landscape as an independent territory might begin a means of understanding its unique conditions. Isobel Ní Riain reveals how a reading of place-names, in the now suburbanised area of Little Island on the edge of Cork city, can tell of a long history of occupation; one whose built form is often subsumed by the office parks and semi-ds of the immediate present.

Mapped is the outcome of a Dublin School of Architecture research project interested in the origins and morphology of Irish villages. The book is intended as a guide to planned villages; those distinctly formed by the actions of landlords, religious groups, and entrepreneurs.
Mapped is the outcome of a Dublin School of Architecture research project interested in the origins of Irish villages and the variety of urban morphologies evident therein. The book is intended as a guide to planned villages; those distinctly formed by the actions of landlords, religious groups, and entrepreneurs. Eighteen unique Irish villages are featured, with the history of each described through detailed texts, collated imagery, and original drawings.This work is complemented with contributing essays from Gillian Darley, Colin Rynne, and Robert O'Byrne which provide additional context to the emergence and development of Ireland's villages.

2ha #01 explores the potential of mapping in understanding the suburban condition.
2ha #01 explores the potential of mapping in understanding the suburban condition. In a landscape built on movement, how we move affects what we know. A map is provided of a suggested walking route around the Goatstown/Dundrum area, in Dublin, with points of interest marked out along the way. Some are a little bit hidden, others in plain sight, but each have been included as places of rare forms and functions in the suburban fabric. The map is an idea for an alternative reading of suburbia.
