Sheila O’Donnell + John Tuomey |
Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey established the O’Donnell + Tuomey Partnership in 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. Their practice has developed an international reputation for cultural and educational buildings, including the Ranelagh Multi-denominational School, the Irish Film Centre, and the Furniture College in Letterfrack. They are currently engaged in the design of university buildings, schools, and housing and mixed-use buildings in Ireland and the Netherlands and have worked on intense urban design projects such as the Temple Bar regeneration in Dublin and the Zuid Poort masterplan in Delft. O’Donnell + Tuomey’s approach to architecture centers on a philosophy that buildings should be appropriate to the particular culture and context which they will serve. Cinema, topography, and the traditions of architecture offer inspiration to their work much more than contemporary practice or current technologies. Their work is further influenced by an appreciation of Ireland’s cultural, historic, civic identity, and sense of shared values. These principles are evident in each of their numerous projects and combine to form an architecture that celebrates the activities taking place in and around them. |

|
The work of O’Donnell + Tuomey has received numerous design awards including the 2002 UIA Abercrombie Prize International Urban Design Award and the 2002 AAI Downes Medal (Premier Award) for the Furniture College. Both partners are studio lecturers in University College Dublin and have taught at a number of schools of architecture in the UK and USA including AA, Cambridge, Princeton, Harvard and Syracuse Universities.

Pugh + Scarpa is “proactive in [their] approach to the creation of sustainable buildings and environments and believe that sustainable ideas and strategies have the potential and power to enrich and broaden culture as well as architectural language.” Florida native Lawrence Scarpa spends much of his time designing offices for the entertainment industry, while simultaneously focusing considerable efforts and imagination on affordable housing projects. Scarpa is a co-founder of Livable Places, Inc.; a nonprofit development company dedicated to building mixed-use housing on under-utilized and problematic parcels of land. Livable Place's first public project was Colorado Court, one of the country's first affordable housing projects to generate its own energy. |

Rafael Viñoly, FAIA |
Rafael Viñoly Architects was founded in 1982 and is now an internationally-recognized architectural practice with primary offices in New York City and London, England. In Rafael Viñoly’s nearly forty years of practice in the United States, Latin America, East Asia, and Europe, his work has always been driven by the belief that architecture’s essential responsibility is to elevate the public realm. This approach is further based on the principle that the disciplines of planning, programming, and architectural design are inextricably interwoven with other areas of specialization—from structural and environmental engineering to acoustics, lighting, and cost management. Viñoly was born in Uruguay in 1944 and by the age of 20 was a founding partner in what would become one of the largest design studios in all of Latin America. It was during this precocious period that Viñoly produced some of his most brilliant designs, including a series of concrete-framed bank buildings faced entirely in glass block, and an equally seminal housing complex, comprising six twenty-story towers linked by aerial bridges. |

|
Through this highly-developed entity, Viñoly has completed many critically-acclaimed public sector buildings as well as private and institutional commissions. As part of the World Trade Center Competition, Rafael Viñoly led the THINK team with its proposals for the redevelopment of the site.
Rafael Viñoly Architects has been widely published around the world and received countless national and international design awards for its projects such as the recently completed Kimmel Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. Rafael Viñoly continues to lecture widely in the United States and abroad.
