Scott was also, very late in his career, architect of Trinity College Chapel at the University of Toronto. Nov. 20 will mark the 70th anniversary of the consecration of the chapel, and the College will host the symposium "Sacred Space: Conflicts and Convergences”. I will be one of the speakers.

I was oddly impressed earlier with the symmetry seen today in Gardiner Place, including to a certain extent the overflowing bins placed either side of the archway to Nerney's Court.

Visited the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, in Winnipeg, for first time in years. The building is still the star, as i wrote back in 2015 for the RIBA Journal. Design and materials have held up so well, still looks fresh and fantastic #winnipeg #winnipegarchitecture

If you're in the vicinity of @dculibrary.bsky.social, please pop in to see an exhibition selected from the archive material I've donated. It relates to my first book, The Destruction of Dublin (1985), and the Dublin Crisis Conference I helped to organise in February 1986. A blast from the past!

One of the joys of a walk along the quays in Dublin are the access ladders. I think the Architectural Review did a page on them in the 1980s.

A photograph of the interior of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, looking along the central aisle of the nave, lined on either side with wooden chairs, Gothic arches, stone columns, hanging lantern lights, and a vaulted ceiling leading to an ornate altar with stained glass windows.

A photograph of the interior of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, looking along the central aisle of the nave, lined on either side with wooden chairs, Gothic arches, stone columns, hanging lantern lights, and a vaulted ceiling leading to an ornate altar with stained glass windows.

Dating from 1172, when Strongbow & Archbishop O’Toole began its construction, the interior of #Christchurch Cathedral is mainly Victorian, due to renovations carried out in the 1870’s by G.E. Street

The leaning north nave wall is due to a roof collapse in 1852
