爱尔兰的建筑复兴是在爱尔兰2015年的推动下进行的，这是政府在国内外推广爱尔兰设计的一项为期一年的计划。在爱尔兰建筑业经历了几年的困难之后，这种积极的前景早就该来了。由于经济衰退限制了机会，爱尔兰公司在更远的地方撒网-其结果正在得到回报。

2015年斯特林奖的候选名单包括位于都柏林的格林威治大学斯托克韦尔街大楼的Heneghan彭建筑师和在都柏林受过教育的达比希尔地方的Niall McLaughlin建筑师。2015年，O‘Donnell Tuomey也成了享有盛誉的RIBA皇家金奖(RIBA Royal Gold Medal)的得奖者，使爱尔兰建筑师成为众人瞩目的焦点。

家里的草坪上发生了什么事？我们精心挑选了15个项目，展示爱尔兰最近完成的各种作品。从著名的公共建筑到微型展馆，都有大胆的形式和节约的材料。还有卡尔·科特(Carr Cotter)的dlr词典的勤劳的地方制造者。

在其他地方资本支出大幅减少的情况下，政府继续对教育进行投资，创造了鼓舞人心的学习环境，Mc Garry Níanaigh Architect的Athlone社区学院的深红色形式和OPW(公共工程办公室)的Tangasc文娱园艺学院的用材林群重新定义了机构建筑的先入为主的概念。在麦卡洛·穆尔文(McCullough Mulvin)对“黑石继续教育学院”(BlackRock DepartmentEducation Institute)的敏感修复中，教育继承了遗产，其中四座被列入名单结合修复和新建筑的例子，例如Donaghy Dimond和St Angela‘s College的Inchicore示范学校，O’Donnell Tuomey的科克学院；这两所学校都通过当代干预措施加强了现有的受保护结构。

特制房屋包括都柏林阿尔玛路由鄂尔多斯，豪斯湖豪斯奥吉奥弗莱厄蒂和教堂路贝尔法斯特霍尔麦克奈特，展示了对材料的掌握和对细节的细致关注，同时解决规划限制和可变的场地条件。同样的道理，戈特斯坦建筑师在基拉尼的港湾，以正式的形式构成了它的居住环境。

在规模上的对比是由Taka建筑师的智能MerrionCricing馆展示的，仅仅是来自都柏林的多用途体育体育场的RDS竞技场的石头。
RDS专用于百万欧元的发展，由纽伦汉姆·穆利根提出的一项竞争制胜的建议

最后是微型缪斯，一个小型但完美的亭子集合，以激发思想和庆祝文化遗产。5德司翁·斯库利建筑师的“立方体能源馆”讨论了对化石燃料的依赖问题。托马斯·奥布赖恩和艾米莉·曼尼翁的“杰弗里之家”的茅草屋为人们提供了一种避风港，而“星光之月”则是爱尔兰诺贝尔奖得主威廉·巴特勒·叶芝诞辰150周年的纪念活动。

岛上的形势一直很艰难，但恢复的道路似乎正在顺利进行。从2016年开始，爱尔兰政府发布了一项为期六年的资本投资框架计划，名为“建立在复苏基础上的基础”，为教育、医疗保健和社会住房领域的重大发展制定了议程，使爱尔兰建筑成为一个明确值得关注的领域。

dlr LexIcon by Carr Cotter & Naessens The project combines intimate and open spaces. This is reflected in the organisation of its two distinct volumes. Clad in granite, the tapering form of the open-plan library raises up to form a tall portico facing the sea. The red brick block accommodates meeting rooms, workshops and reading rooms.

Picture Palace by dePaor Architects The monolithic form of the new art-house cinema is located on the plot of a Georgian merchant's house and garden in Galway. The front facade of the end-terraced house was maintained in facsimile for streetscape and the new use is now tucked in the garden behind. Photography: Anna Hofheinz

Picture Palace by dePaor Architects The multi-faceted monolithic volume of the cinema is formed from cast in-situ shot-blasted and polished concrete, punctured by picture windows and topped with a pyramidal slate roof. The title of the building in both Gaelic and English is etched in deep relief on the two corner flanking facades. Photography: Anna Hofheinz

Picture Palace by dePaor Architects Developed by Solas Galway Picture Palace Teoranta, the structure was designed by dePaor architects, who completed the shell and core in 2014, with the internal fit-out due for completion in mid-2016.

Alma Road by ODOS Architects Sited on the grounds of a protected structure, the lynchpin corner plot terminating a Dublin Victorian terrace was considered undevelopable, with strict planning conditions restricting height and appearance. No visible windows were permitted from the street. Photography: Alice Clancy

Alma Road by ODOS Architects Historically, the site was a walled orchard, prompting the architects to design a house that resembled a Victorian wall. Constructed in brick, the elegant two-storey dwelling nestles behind the wall, with daylight drawn inside through a series of interconnected courtyard spaces. Photography: Alice Clancy

Alma Road by ODOS Architects The bedrooms are located on the ground floor, opening out onto the privacy of the lower Zen courtyard, while the first floor living spaces are connected through a series of planted outdoor areas. Photography: Alice Clancy

The Lake House by Aughey O’Flaherty Architects The 270 sq m tailor made house avails of its spectacular setting on the Howth peninsula, with views of Lambay Island and Ireland’s Eye to the north and a large lake to the south. Bound by the Burrow beach dunes, the house is sensitive to its conservation area setting, elevated to comply with the council’s flooding policy. Photography: Marie-Louise Halpenny

The Lake House by Aughey O’Flaherty Architects The south eastern corner cantilevers over the lake with foundations set back from the edge, resulting in a long dual-aspect building with an east–west orientation and central kink in geometry, accentuating the location of the entrance.

The Haven by Gottstein Architects Tucked down a narrow laneway in Killarney, a disused three-storey stone granary building has been given a new lease of life with a restoration and stylish new-build addition, that extends an existing hostel facility to form 645 sq m of small-scale accommodation. Photography: Dennis Gilbert

The Haven by Gottstein Architects A covered external foyer, aptly named the Breezeway, forms a threshold to the laneway, constructed from a robust palette of red brick, concrete, timber and steel. Terraced gathering space softens the level difference in the south facing courtyard, which becomes the social hub that links the hostel buildings. Photography: Dennis Gilbert

Merrion Cricket Club by TAKA Architects Cricket isn't a sport normally associated with Ireland, yet the new club house for the long established Merrion Cricket Club is located a stone’s throw from the RDS Arena, Dublin’s multipurpose sports stadium. Replacing a 1980s structure damaged by flooding, the simple form of the raised pavilion is defined by its geometric zinc roof. Photography: Alice Clancy
