Archive is the podcast of the Architectural Association of Ireland. In 1896, the AAI was founded ‘to promote and afford facilities for the study of architecture and the allied sciences and arts, and to provide a medium of friendly communication between members and others interested in the progress of architecture’. Through the Archive podcast series, we hope to continue this conversation about architecture, both in Ireland and further afield. In each episode we speak to a national or international figure from the field of architecture, art or design about their work, their thinking and their process. To date, we've talked to a diverse range of international architects, such as 2013 Stirling Prize winning, William Mann (Witherford Watson Mann), 2010 Venice Silver Lion winner, Kersten Geers (OFFICE KGDVS) and Portugese architect Ricardo Bak Gordon (Bak Gordon arquitectos); alongside a number of Irish practices, including Royal Gold Medal recipients, Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey (O'Donnell + Tuomey architects) and Young Architect of the Year nominees, Cian Deegan and Alice Casey (TAKA architects).
