Waste Water . Arlkow Clancy Moore architects Arklow Wastewater Treatment …

Impeccable research - Most local libraries do look this way.

How Arklow turned a major sewage problem into an opportunity to build something spectacular Arklow Wastewater Treatment Plant, designed by Clancy Moore, is the first in the world with an architect as an integrated part of the design team

How Arklow turned a major sewage problem into an opportunity to build something spectacular

For more than a century, the lower reaches of the Avoca River constituted the most polluted stretches of river in Ireland. Now, thanks to a new wastewater treatment plant in Arklow, ‘the river runs clean for the first time in over a hundred years,’ writes @eabeaumont.bsky.social.

If woke means thinking that architecture has never been ‘autonomous and theory-led’ then I’m adding it to my bio right now.

I’m not sure poor Patrick ever understood what architecture is. Bless him. It’s so naive and nostalgic. But it did give me a good chuckle. Yesterday’s man if ever there was one.

Thank you! It’s on Spotify also etc. a lot of good ones in the archive also.

High praise - to be compared to some of our heroes makes it hard to respond to. But that’s a structure we really respect and admire. Its robustness. Its generosity and its presence.

Yes we were thinking of so many things. The green has links to the town’s industrial past and its sports teams, the expression is one that oscillates between caricature and figuration. Something that can be read from a distance and responds to human scale in proximity.

Yes, we were very influenced by the aesthetic theory of ‘banging buildings’ in our design.

Work in process from our vast Arklow Wastewater project. Completing in early March 2025, construction brings clean river and sea water to a town of 12’000, allowing it to grow to 36’000 in the decades ahead.

An incredible thing to be a part of.

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

I really loved this chat with Cristina Monteiro and David Knight of DK-CM.

We discuss public work, architectures uninterrogated and renewed embrace of privilege and the hard, quiet work of making improvements to the cities and towns we work in.

Towards the end of this interview of Lutjens Padmanabhan by @clancyandrew.bsky.social , the architects touch on notions of lightness and seriousness in architecture: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Why architecture needs more jokes and less jargon Can humour help demystify the world of design for a curious public, asks Eleanor Jolliffe

Wit is a massively underrated quality in architecture, and increasingly rare: www.bdonline.co.uk/opinion/why-...

I was asked to write about ‘beginnings’ for the AR, and thought of reference - the sea of affinities that we consciously and subconsciously draw on. With thanks to @prhedefalt.bsky.social for the photo of the remarkable timber barn that opens the piece.
