The Dublin-based practice formed 41 years ago in 1978, with the two directors having known each other since they were students at University College, Dublin.
Much of their work has been in the higher education sector, including a Stirling-shortlisted scheme for the University of Limerick, and most notably their university campus for UTEC in Lima, Peru, which won the inaugural RIBA International Prize in 2016. Their growing reputation was cemented by their appointment to curate the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Following its exhibition at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, the IAF toured “Close Encounter: Meetings with remarkable buildings”, an architecture exhibition curated by Shelley and Yvonne, consisting of sixteen of Ireland’s brightest architectural teams, to The Glucksman in Cork and VISUAL in Carlow.
