We are delighted to announce that the Umbrellas in Temple Bar’s Meeting House Square have just won a prestigious international ICONIC AWARD 2014 in the “Special Architecture” category from the German Design Council.
The German Design Council’s cross-disciplinary architectural competition took place for the second time this year and honoured a total of 48 submissions from numerous high-quality entries with the highest award Best of Best – including the Meeting House Square umbrellas.
“The great success of the 2014 Iconic Awards demonstrates that there is a sustained demand for an architectural competition, which honors the interaction of the disciplines through a holistic approach. The outstanding submissions, a strongly growing public interest and the increasingly international character of the competition, have already established the Iconic Awards as a benchmark in their second year of existence,” notes Andrej Kupetz, General Manager of German Design Council.
This is the second international award for the project, following on from the International Award for Architecture 2013 from the Chicago Atheneum and the European Centre for Architecture.
Our thanks go to the client Temple Bar Cultural Trust and the German firm of MDT-tex who manufactured and engineered the umbrellas.
