Beyond Pebbledash... and the Puzzle of Dublin

Beyond Pebbledash is both a book and a wider design initiative whose creative aim is to promote a critical conversation on the future of Dublin urbanism. It provokes questions in the mind of the reader: What have we built? And, critically, why have we built it here? It encourages us to look beyond the surface meaning of any built landscape, to peel back the façade, to enter a different, engaging and challenging realm of questioning. How do we read the built environment? What can we see beyond the literal structure or structures standing before us?
