Shane de Blacam’s carefully crafted buildings have influenced some of the most significant Irish architecture. Join us for this special lecture in celebration of the 2023 RA Architecture Prize Winner.

Shane de Blacam is partner at De Blacam and Meagher, an architectural practice he founded together with John Meagher in 1976. Their work includes churches, university buildings, libraries, theatres, housing and more. Their projects are united by a commitment to simplicity, and a careful attention to detail and materials. In 2010 and in 2018 de Blacam and Meagher represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale.

In this special lecture, de Blacam will reflect on his decades of work and his belief that architecture should speak for itself. He will be joined for questions at the end of the lecture by the chair of the 2023 Royal Academy Architecture Awards Jury, Niall McLaughlin RA.
