Armada Memorial Centre

During first semester our brief was to design an Armada Memorial Centre in Streedagh. This project allowed us to learn about the history of the Spanish Armada and the geology of the area to inform our design. My design was situated close to Streedagh strand, due to this I wanted my design to be low lying and unobtrusive within the landscape. My form was derived from the stacked limestone cliffs on Streedagh strand that reach out to the Atlantic Ocean.

From a young age I have always been interested in art and design. My interest in architecture grew as I got older and travelled more, it was something I became passionate about and knew I wanted to study. I have been coming to Sligo every summer since I was born, since moving here four years ago and studying Architectural design, I have been inspired by the beauty of Sligo’s landscape.
