ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING Referencing the anti-social behaviour being reported in the media in Dublin and other cities, Sheridan says there is a direct link between quality placemaking i.e. the physical environments we are creating and citizen behaviour. We therefore need a vision for Dublin that creates quality neighbourhoods, maintains our existing amenities and provides access to amenities for all. How does Sheridan believe this can be achieved? She says collaboration and joined-up thinking are essential to arrive at a quality-based vision for the city and this includes all of the built environment professions working together architects, planners, urban designers, landscape architects, engineers and climate experts. Even more important is the contribution from residents, businesses and other stakeholders through a meaningful process that involves communities actively in vision and plan-making. How we communicate this vision to citizens is key and Sheridan advocates for moving from traditional 2D plans to a 3D master-planning model that clearly explains to the public the process of placemaking and the impact of building heights and densification, both digitally and interactively, creating certainty for all. She believes this will increase understanding of how new housing and development can be positively integrated into existing communities a win-win for everyone. Town planner MARY MAC MAHON is the President of the Irish Planning Institute. MacMahon received her masters in Town and Country Planning from Queens University Belfast and has a degree in Social Sciences from UCD. Her career is diverse and distinguished: she ran her own planning practice, served on the Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board, and was a board member of An Bord Pleanála for seven years. In recent years, she was Planning Manager for Marlet Property Group and director of John Spain Associates before joining An Bord Pleanála as a Senior Planning Inspector. This experience of both private and public sector has given MacMahon a deep insight into the acute challenges Ireland faces when it comes to climate change and housing. People need homes, while our carbon footprint needs to reduce, says MacMahon. She believes there is a solution to both problems: We need to develop new forms of housing that are cheaper and quicker to build than apartments, all while still achieving medium density levels within our built-up areas. According to the planner, a medium density level of housing ranges between 40 to 100 residential units per hectare and is typically found in the historic areas of our cities. The Pembroke estate cottages in Dublins Ballsbridge and Ringsend and other artisan housing in Stoneybatter and Rialto, are all examples of medium density, says MacMahon. These types of houses are at around 70 to 85 units per hectare and continue to be sought-after homes today as they are well designed and located near amenities. MacMahon believes that the new draft Sustainable and Compact Settlements Guidelines for Planning Authorities issued by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in August 2023 will advance suburban housing standards to allow for this new type of housing. MacMahon explains that while these guidelines provide for smaller-sized gardens and houses closer together than previously permitted, they could reduce urban sprawl and allow for sympathetic infill housing in existing estates. Building height becomes less of an issue for existing residents as the new homes are low rise and they can be designed to have their own front door, she explains. MacMahon believes this new type of housing can provide a more sustainable future for our growing population. As Innovation & Design Director at construction firm John Sisk & Son, SARAH-JANE PISCIOTTI is part of a revolution in how we build for this and future generations. Pisciotti argues that we are at the centre of an enormous and essential built environment transformation: At the eye of this perfect storm are climate change and exponential population growth paired with a housing and construction skills shortage, along with hyper-inflation. Pisciotti believes that we need to build at a pace never seen before in order to deliver more homes for people at a higher quality, while creating jobs for local communities and developing critical infrastructure. She says this requires big-picture systems thinking combined with collaborative working, trusting relationships and a network of communication and knowledge sharing. At Sisk, Pisciotti is leading a team that is doing just that transforming construction both operationally on site and through research with industry and universities. This includes researching new materials like low-carbon cement for concrete and cross-laminated timber for efficient construction as well as identifying the future building systems and skills needed to scale up modern methods of construction. Our goal is to raise awareness on more sustainable solutions and influence our partners including clients, designers and supply chains to enable Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA), says Pisciotti. This will mean working together earlier and moving construction work to a safer offsite environment where appropriate, generating less waste and using less natural resources through carefully considered design. A graduate in architecture from UCD, Pisciotti came to the construction sector after working in leading design practices Niall McLaughlin Architects (London), ODonnell + Tuomey (Dublin) and Mario Cucinella Architects (Bologna). Studying for her architecture professional practice exam at the renowned Bartlett School of Architecture in London opened her eyes to the wider eco-system of construction and the digital transformation underway. She realised that she wanted to work on large construction projects, as this is where you can have impact at scale. Above all, she enjoys being able to effect change and is proud that she leads a multidisciplinary team with a 50:50 gender balance and a positive team culture. JENNIFER BOYER is the first Vice-President of Sustainability at Technological University (TU) Dublin and a member of the universitys Executive Team. It is a strategic role to bring climate action and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the centre of all academic programmes and drive university strategy to achieve sustainability targets across the entire university operations, where TU Dublin aims to become a beacon of sustainability, explains Boyer. An architect with a degree from Cornell University (New York), from an early stage, Boyer had an interest in how architecture impacts the environment and intersects with society and the economy. My interest was spurred by a number of questions I had about the failings of our economy during the 2008 crash and how we could build a more ethical future. She obtained an Aspire scholarship to undertake an MBA at UCD Michael Smurfit School of Business and was promoted to director in a large multidisciplinary architectural practice, working across Central Europe, Russia and the UK. In parallel to practice, she enjoyed lecturing in architecture part-time and joined TU Dublin where she became Head of Architecture in 2015. Boyer strongly believes that architects are uniquely placed to positively affect change and should play leading roles in climate action: As architects, we are trained in critical thinking and design and have the capacity to generate solutions across a spectrum of scales. From as intimate as a piece of furniture or a small building right up to the scale of a city and other societal constructs. Architects also think broadly, and holistically as we design, we are trained to care as much about the emissions as about emotions of design. She argues that with the architects responsibility to specify materials comes responsibility to consider their impact and embodied carbon across the supply chain. At TU Dublin, Boyer has already led on the co-creation with students, educators, researchers, and community of a major curriculum change to the Bachelor of Architecture by embedding the UN SDGs. She is now leading a national cross-sectoral initiative, known as Building Change (Resilient Design Curricula) under the Higher Education Authority Human Capital Initiative. In this ambitious programme, all of Irelands Schools of Architecture are collaborating to address Climate Action and Housing for All in the curriculum with the professional body, the RIAI. This will undoubtedly equip the next generation of architects in Ireland with the right skills to become future leaders in climate action. AS ARCHITECTS, WE ARE TRAINED IN CRITICAL THINKING ...
