Morgan Flynn

Biography

I graduated from UCD in 1999 and worked in de Blacam and Meagher from 1999 to 2004, and in Delahunty and Harley from 2004 to 2005. I established my own practice, agletarchitecture, in 2004. I began teaching in SAUL in 2008. I am interested how architecture is made and how the intent of the architect can be realized simultaneously in detailed design and at the widest scales. I am pursuing a number of interests through research, including documenting the historic fabric of Limerick City, in particular the iron coal hole covers and bootscrapers, as well as examining how architecture is taught and if the attributes of the Design Studio can be used to teach and learn in other disciplines.

Research Interest

In collaboration with Dr. Eimear Flynn, I am conducting research into the attributes of the design studio as an educational model, with the potential of using lessons learned to develop teaching and learning in a medical context Coal Holes and Bootscrapers Through mapping, photographing, drawing and making casts, the research explores the qualities of the historic street furniture of Limerick City. These products were exhibited as part of Heritage Week 2012, as well as forming part of Culture Night Limerick 2012, and Open House Limerick 2012
