Respect for memory and our individual attachment to place seems crucial to the ethos of Fishamble Architects, writes Emmett Scanlon
Fishamble Architects was officially formed in 2019 but, for directors James Casey and Liam McInerney, the office was at least ten years in the making. Graduating from University College Dublin in 2010 and in a move not unusual for graduates, they formed a loose collective, sustaining the ways and means by which they worked in university. The pair con- tinued to collaborate in the evenings and weekends on competitions and installations – even while in different countries. By day, they also worked in other offices including McCullough Mulvin, GKMP and Tierney Haines in Dublin (Casey), and Push Design and Clive Sall in London (McInerney).
