Cork 2005: The jubilation in UCC at the RIBA award for its O'Donnell and Tuomey-designed Glucksman Gallery was a reminder that architecture is still holding its place as one of the strongest programme strands of Cork 2005.
Michael Scott's centenary is celebrated by an exhibition of his work at the Crawford Gallery until July 23rd, and last week cultural planner Charles Landry was a guest of the city council.
But who was listening as he spoke of the need to change professional mindsets as a step towards creating a culturally active city? In contrast to the thousand-strong attendance for the more famous Daniel Libeskind last month, an embarrassingly small group of people turned up at St Luke's Church for Landry.
