"On the day I heard about the fire, and that the library was totally destroyed, I opened [my notebook] again for the first time. Measure for measure it came back; like a score in my head; but knowing now that it all only existed in silence" - Paul Clarke drawingmatter.org/glasgow-sc…

You can see some of Paddy’s films here. Like him, they are sensitive, conscientious, informed yet down-to-earth, laced with his unique humour & love for detail. His death robs us of all he was & had to give. You’d just adore being in his company 💔 vimeo.com/paddycahill

This is beautiful Conor. Remembering @CahillPaddy and his wonderful architectural explorations. Particularly enjoyed cycling around Belfast with @nigreenways as Paddy documented. What a terrible loss and a great legacy. RIP Paddy.
Deeply saddened to hear that Paddy Cahill has died. A great filmmaker and lovely guy. He made brilliant films on Irish architecture. Paddy and I worked together in Belfast, including this short film of Transport House from 2017: vimeo.com/535471855 Gone too soon - RIP Paddy.

All of us at the @HeaneyCentre are devastated by the news of the death today of our great friend, colleague, example as poet and writer, our first Director, Ciaran Carson: ‘il professore, il maestro,’ in the words of Stephen Sexton, ‘to whom the language itself is indebted.’

For over 30yrs my parents have lived in NI’s 1st ‘garden village’ (albeit not to the same scale of GB garden villages), built in 1949 imo it is still a worthy & relevant case study of best practice in terms of housing model, architectural/landscape design and placemaking...

Density is not the enemy. Height (up to a point) is not the enemy. Poor urbanism & ugly buildings are the enemy of great places. Here’s beautiful in Borough.....

only around 2900 students took A-level in German this year. Shocking decline of foreign language skills.
