UCD Architecture will be holding a lecture on Eileen Gray: New Environmental Perspectives on Tuesday 10 April 2012 at 1:15pm in the Red Room, Richview. Eileen Gray may be Ireland’s most famous designer, but it is time to also recognise her achievements as a pioneering environmental architect.

The lecture shall be presented by Daniel Ryan, Associate Lecturer in Sustainable Design at the University of Sydney, Australia. He studied architecture at UCD and is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Sydney, looking at prototypes of bioclimatic architecture.

This lecture will be preceded by a short presentation about the University of Sydney and opportunities for the students of UCD Architecture to partake in an exchange.

Daniel Ryan’s visit is supported by the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning as part of the Master of Architecture exchange agreement between the University of Sydney and University College Dublin.
