‘My Architecture Design Journal’, was the module undertaken by transition year students. It is a project by the Irish Architecture Foundation which aims to give students an appreciation of architecture and the environment, architectural language, the interpretation of plans and enables each student to create her own design and model for a specific space. As part of the research for this project, Sr. Alice (pictured above) kindly invited the class group to view archival material relating to the fine architectural heritage of St. Mary’s school building and its splendid gardens. Also pictured below the original trowel used while laying the foundation of the corner stone of St. Mary’s school building.
