For the Inaugural Annual Mary Bryan Lecture, Livia Hurley will give a talk on Irish utopias, which situates nineteenth-century settlements within the Irish Utopian Studies canon and questions whether these aspirational spaces unwittingly materialised as dystopian in their tightly controlled planning and in their function as showcasing for philanthropic industrialists. Livia Hurley is Design Fellow in Architecture, School of Architecture, Planning & Environmental Policy, UCD.
