Talented UCD graduate Irish architect's star rising in the East
'WE all walked towards a park, and began to hear more about the tsunami and nuclear fallout. In the end, I cycled home, past all the people who had to walk because the trains had stopped." Calm of voice and bright of expression, Jack Hogan does not strike you as someone prone to hyperbole. There have been many earthquakes during the Waterford architect's two years in Japan, but when he speaks of the devastating March quake, of "cracked roads", lampposts shaking violently and empty shelves in shops, his understated expressions make the details smack of reality.
Studio Craft and Technique
Studio Craft & Technique is a one-stop handbook for undergraduate students of architecture. Based on the belief that technology is at the heart of design studies, this book encourages students to think of design and technology as an integrated whole.
A Green Vitruvius (2nd Edition)
Now fully updated in 2011, this well-established textbook provides advice suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate students on the integration of sustainable practice into the design and construction process, the issues to be considered, the strategies to be adopted, the elements of green design and design evaluation within the process.
