THE IRISH CONSULATE

An embassy is a public building with a heavy political element to it but remains accessible to all. The design must be functional and convenient to navigate for dignitaries and staff. Privacy and interaction must be guided in the layout as per the nature of activities. The aim is to challenge individuals to push spatial design skills by attempting to imagine a space that borrows from two distinctly different architectural skills. This project is only speculation to challenge design abilities. The design outcome should be a space where foreigners can learn basic information about the history of Ireland, its culture, its economy and the language. In combining the architectural style the design should not neglect the receiving countries’ predominant climatic conditions. As determined by the chosen context, the site for this project is located in Rabat, Morocco. The site is located in central Rabat in a residential area with larger houses. Embassies in Rabat are spread across the city and there are several other embassies a short distance away from the site.
