Position Statement

Beyond fishing, farming and floating...

Skibbereen as…a place where people died of potato hunger??

Colours:

As we see it, how about the colours that we don’t see/recognize/know of its existence? Bees see Infrared… Colour blinded men were recruited in World War II as bombers because they can recognize camouflage from actual vegetation etc…

Why is Skibbereen so “Colour-less”?

How can I achieve efficiency in a designer's standpoint?

To introduce the value of intimate, tectonic-rich spaces using local materials - a gathering place - just like the little italian piazzas (some don't work) as Kidder-Smith describes. It has to be suited for a climate like Skibbereen as well.

To introduce constructive memories that forms the continuation of the town’s history.
