Abstract

Flat roofs, clean lines, bold ideas. THIS MODERN LOVE travels across Ireland’s early- to mid-twentieth‑century modernist landmarks - buildings that broke from tradition and imagined a different future. From civic centres and factories to churches, housing and schools, these structures tell a story of ambition, progress and new ways of living.Together they form a vivid portrait of an Ireland looking outward, embracing international modernism while forging its own architectural voice. Clear‑eyed, visually driven and unapologetic, THIS MODERN LOVE invites you to rediscover a built heritage that is still shaping Irish life today.
