Come west along the road

This thesis is an exploration into certain relationships and qualities of Irish culture with its landscape, natural and constructed. Coming from an area culturally rich with traditions of music, language and farming, I intend to pursue the importance of the architecture that that is needed for the future of the space and movement between these traditions in rural areas. As, I will be talking significantly about the movement through various types of spaces, architecturally and musically, the flow and rhythm of this document will attempt to describe cultural understandings from personal experiences as narrative and factual discussions on related works. The architectural project is formed around the unformalities of Irish traditional music, creating a string of small spaces, reinterpreting the existing ‘public house’ along this particular coastal condition complimenting the existing infrasturcture. Note: Included in the text are small pieces of descriptive narratives moving through this particular landscape.
