2006 Best International Project

Cork Institute of Technology

Architect: De Blacam & Meagher
Brickwork contractor: PJ Hegarty
Brick: Kingscourt Hanover Multi

This amazing large-scale project uses brick structurally both outside and inside. With distinct Kahnian overtones, it is undoubtedly an accomplished and highly sculptured work of brick architecture. The judges compared their visit to like being in a Piranesi drawing and have predicted it will become one of the significant brick buildings of the early 21st century.
