The story
After training in University College Dublin and University of Pennsylvania, Shane de Blacam (born 1945) worked for Chamberlin, Powell & Bon on the Barbican Centre in London and for Louis Khan in Philadelphia. John Meagher (1947–2021), studied at Dublin Institute of Technology and for a year at Helsinki School of Architecture in 1971, and also worked early in his career in the United States for Venturi Scott Brown.
De Blacam & Meagher were the principal exhibitors in the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2010. The historian Roy Foster, particularly referring to the firm's work in Dublin wrote in the exhibition catalogue of their commission's "masterly introduction of light, the texture of appropriate materials (brick, hardwood, pre-patinated copper) a use of space and volume at once imaginative and respectful of their surroundings."
