Sheila O'Donnell Author

Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey have worked together for more than 30 years. Theirs is a studio-based practice, committed to the craft and culture of architecture. They approach each project with a fresh and open mind, “Our buildings do not look the same; each is a specific response to its brief and its physical and social context.” O’Donnell + Tuomey were both professors at University College Dublin where they taught for 40 years and still regularly teach and examine in schools in the US, UK and Europe, including Harvard, Princeton, Cambridge and the AA. They have exhibited six times in the Venice Biennale, and have received over 120 awards for their buildings worldwide. In 2015, they were awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal given in recognition of a lifetime’s work, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Brunner Prize for their contribution to the art of architecture. Previous publications from Artifice Press include Saw Swee Hock: The Realisation of The London School of Economics Student Centre, published in 2015.
