Draft:Reddy Architecture + Urbanism

  • Comment: This is basically just a corporate presentation. We don't need to see those long lists of projects and awards, save them for your own website. They also account for the vast majority of referencing (or should I say WP:REFBOMBING), whereas I don't see anything among the sources cited that would actually amount to notability per WP:NCORP.

Reddy Architecture + Urbanism

[edit]

Reddy Architecture and Urbanism is an architecture practice with its head office in Dublin, Ireland, and further offices in London, Galway, Cork, Limerick, London and Lisbon. It is one of the largest architecture practices in Ireland. Established in 1982, the firm began as Fitzgerald Reddy Associates. In 1996, the firm was renamed Anthony Reddy Associates Architects and later, in 2005, to Reddy Architecture + Urbanism (Reddy A+U). The practice has grown to become a leading name in Irish and international architecture.

History:

[edit]

Reddy Architecture + Urbanism was founded as Fitzgerald Reddy Associates in 1982 by Tony Reddy and Maurice Fitzgerald. In 1996, after Maurice Fitzgerald’s departure to form Fitzgerald Kavanagh and Partners, the firm was renamed Anthony Reddy Associates Architects. In 2005, the practice adopted its current name, Reddy Architecture + Urbanism (Reddy A+U).

Tony Reddy, the firm's founder, was born in Dublin in 1952. He studied architecture at University College Dublin, completing his B.Arch in 1975, and later earned a Diploma in Project Management from Trinity College Dublin in 1986. Early in his career, Reddy worked in New York with prominent architects such as Paul Rudolph and Kevin Roche. His passion for urban design led to a particular focus on integrating modernist principles into sustainable urban planning.This interest led him to question the urban planning theories as articulate by CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne).

Priorities

[edit]

Reddy A+U’s early works focused on housing projects, evolving from small infill townhouses to large urban renewal schemes. The firm became known for its contextual approach to urban design, ensuring that its projects responded to their surrounding environment.

As the practice grew, Reddy A+U expanded internationally, opening offices in the UK, Poland, and Romania. After the 2008 financial crash, the firm opened a London office with a focus on urban regeneration, housing, and public space design.

The postwar period witnessed a decline in housing quality and public spaces, largely due to the rigid modernist planning principles promoted by CIAM.,[1] In response, Reddy A+U has focused much of its practice on improving urban environments, particularly in terms of sustainable growth and urban housing models.

Senior Leadership

[edit]

Reddy A+U’s senior leadership includes: Tony Reddy (Chairman), Rob Keane (CEO) Rory Murphy (COO and Gareth Maguire (CIO).[2] The leadership team is further supported by 9 board directors.

Notable projects:

[edit]

Reddy A+U has been responsible for regeneration projects in Ireland and the UK including Ardilaun Court[3] and Dean Court, Patrick Street, Dublin, Temple Bar West End, Dublin. The practice also designed its own buildings within these masterplan projects, including the Eircom Headquarters[4], the Brunel Building[5], Heuston South Quarter. The practice was a key member of the team which prepared the masterplans for the Northeast Inner City 1997 for Dublin City Council and the Grand Canal Dock Masterplan by the DDDA in 1998. In 2000, it prepared the Masterplan for the lands at McDonagh Station, Kilkenny and was later the architect for the McDonagh Junction mixed use retail, office, residential and cultural quarter.

In 2007, Reddy A+U was appointed as master planner for the Connolly Station Lands[6] leading to a later commission to obtain planning permission for Iarnród Eireann on the lands. In 2012, following an urban design strategy competition, Reddy A+U was appointed master planner for the Abbey Creative Quarter, a regeneration project on the former Diageo brewery and medieval friary lands in the heart of Kilkenny.[7]

In 2015, the practice was appointed as master planner by Fingal County Council for the Swords Castle Cultural Quarter.[8] In 2018, the practice was appointed by the Port of Cork Authority to regenerate the 165-hectare area riverside site at Tivoli Docks, Cork. In April 2020, it was appointed by the Land Development Agency as architect and master planners for the regeneration of the former National Mental Hospital site at Dundrum as a new residential neighbourhood[9].
