UCD Architecture Centenary Ceiling


In preparation for the UCD Architecture Centenary a group of staff and students were given the task of creating a visible and lasting marker as a way of launching the year.

After the initial decision to mark the name of every graduate chronologically the detailed design process went through many stages. A team of Upper School students worked over the summer on the design and production of the installation. After correlating the names and years of all the graduates to pass through the School in the first 100 years, they surveyed the ceiling and came up with a proposal to laser cut the names onto large plywood panels.

On 16th September 2011, at a special event to launch the beginning of the School’s centenary year, the ceiling will be unveiled by Minister for Education and Skills and graduate of the School, Ruairi Quinn TD. The evening was sponsored by Forbo Ireland and over 500 Guests attended and had the opportunity to view this wonderful piece of architecture.
