Always a delight to see the work of art that is the ceiling of the Grand Opera House, Belfast, masterfully painted by artist Cherith McKinstry, wife of Robert McKinstry, the architect responsible for the 1980s restoration of the original Frank Matcham design opened in 1895.
Success through Architecture
Director Jane Larmour was recently invited to be a participant in the 'Success Through Architecture' projected by Alan Jones (Director of Alan Jones Architects and Director of Education at Queen's University Belfast). The project explores the role of the contemporary architect and how those passionate about architecture are inspired by it and help create it.
Jane met with a group of QUB undergraduate students at the Lyric Theatre, a project in which she was involved with in previous practice, to answer questions about her experience to date in the process of becoming and practicing as a registered and chartered architect in both Ireland and the UK in addition to her roles in teaching and research.
