building type+location: a series of urban interventions stitching together spaces around the castle, train station, and curved street in wexford.
invisible elements: castle museum, housing, fire station, shopping - all languished in the ‘feasability’ in tray throughout the long recession of the late 1980s. the population requiring new housing shrank to zero as emigration accelerated.
