Hidden Histories
Architects, on occasion, become household names – Engineers generally don’t. Yet without engineers, a building can not become a reality, making the leap from a design on paper to a standing structure. It is remarkable how few of us have heard the name Peter Rice – the Irish engineer behind many of the twentieth centuries most stunning global buildings, including the Sydney Opera House and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Dying at only 57 in 1992, he is undoubtedly one of the most important Irish figures of architectural history. Donal Fallon has more with another episode of Hidden Histories.
