Central Streets in Cork ​

Ireland

​

The present project proposes a construction system compatible with the differentiated character to be established in the streets and squares of the old city centre of Cork. The project thus opts for a construction system that allows the urban space to be designed in terms of categories as regards their width, significance and position within the structure of the city while preserving the architectural constants which, by ensuring continuity, make the historic city centre recognisable. These constants, which we might call the 'skeleton' of the urban space, are the constituent elements of the general construction system.
