ABSTRACT International or Moderne appears to have been the exemplar for public buildings designed in 1930’s Ireland with schools, hospitals and social housing as well as commercial buildings, cinemas and garages adopting its form and functional aspirations(1). But while the State and Industry seemed happy to adopt the modern aesthetic for its public utility and commercial developments, the relatively small number of private housing stock built in the international style would appear to indicate a less effusive response to their style. In the intervening decades, the dwindling stock of Moderne and international Style public and commercial buildings in Dublin, seems to reflect a historical lack of regard for their architectural typology. Within the past decade there is evidence of some attempts to reverse this trend – both in the re-instatement of Archer’s Garage in Sandwich/Fenian Street, in renovation work carried out by RKD Architects on the Gas Building in d’Olier Street, as well as the restoration of the precinct of the Herbert Simms designed Chancery House flats near the Four Courts. In the private housing arena, while there appears to be some efforts to protect certain houses (since April 2, 2012 Balnagowan (formerly Wendon) one of the first houses built in the modern movement style has been listed)(2) and some streetscapes have been zoned as Z2(3), they do not appear to register as deserving of attention on the Irish architectural landscape. In particular a development of forty-two white houses on the Howth Road in Raheny, built in the late 1930’s are absent from the Irish historical architectural radar with the exception of paragraph references to the style on civic heritage (4) and architectural websites (5), and one book reference(6). This paper, in examining these houses within the context of their design inspiration, development and evolution seeks to establish a case for their recognition in Irish architectural and cultural discourse. 1 Paul Larmour, Free State Architecture: Modern Movement Architecture in Ireland, 1922 - 1949 (Kinsale: Gandon Editions, 2009). 2 "Additions and Deletions to the list of Protected Structures", Protected Structures: Record of Protected Structures in Dublin City, Dublin City Council, http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-planning-heritage-and-conservation-conservation/protected-structures Accessed September 2014. 3 Michael Woods, Department of the Marine & Natural Resources, Letter [to Howth Road Homeowner] re Protection Status February 1999; Martina, Dublin City Planning Email September 29, 2014 (See Appendix A). 4 "Buildings Architectural Styles: Modern Movement House", Dublin Civic Trust, http://www.dublincivictrust.ie/buildings.php Accessed March 13, 2014. 5 “RKD 100 1913 – 2013” Robinson, Keefe & Devane, 2013. http://www.rkd.ie/.

This paper was presented at 'Expanded Architecture Temporal Formal at Seidler City', conference held at 'Museum of Sydney' on 8 November 2014. In the design and construction of two homes, the émigré architects Eva Buhrich (1915-1976) and Hugh Buhrich (1911-2004) enriched their architectonic space through the use of loose furniture and joinery items. In particular the grouping of two reclining chairs, based on the design of the Long Chair (c.1935) by Marcel Breuer (1902 – 1981), was used to spatially anchor the southern end of the living room in front of the fire place within their first home, while twenty years later was relocated into the second home to form a counterpoint within the living room in front of a wall mounted TV. The spatial complexity and material expression of these houses incorporated these 'crafted' ergo-nomic reclining chairs as well as other unique items into a Sydney interior of historic importance. These harbor-side houses located within the Sydney suburb of Castlecrag and their built-in and loose pieces of furniture that contributed to a health conscious lifestyle, were manifestations of a European derived Modernist discourse. While aspects of these houses have been well documented, it is these horsehair covered laminated timber reclining chairs that have tended to be overlooked in any critique. Designed by Hugh and dating to the early 1940s, and in their paraphrasing of Breuer as a translation of European Modernism, enabled to enrich their interiors.

This article explores discourses of expatriation in Merida (Mexico) developed in autobiographies, handbooks for expatriates, local house tours, websites and videos, as well as interior design books. In the city of Merida (Mexico), buying and remodeling a colonial home has become a central theme in expatriation narratives. North American expatriates have become house renovation experts and are fueling a local real estate boom. But for U.S. and Canadian residents, the houses of Mérida also embody lofty community ideals–upward mobility, the American Dream, the Protestant Work Ethic, and even nationalist pride.

American Style or Turkish Chair: The Triumph of Bodily Comforthttps://daily.jstor.org/style-tips-from-the-harem/ This article investigates the reciprocal influence of Ottoman Turkish and American interiors in the development of seating furniture. Seating furniture is unique because it involves a direct and physical interaction between the piece of furniture and the body, while at the same time it is part of a public space where social interactions occur. I will argue that the interactions between the Ottoman Turks and Americans are reflected in the way these traditions modified their seating furniture as they sought to mediate cultural, political and social differences between them. The concept of bodily comfort will serve as a common thread in understanding the origin of the expression 'American style' (Amerikan stili or Amerikan tarzı) in modern Turkish language, the 'Turkish chairs' in Victorian America in the late nineteenth century and the English language use of words such as sofa, ottoman and divan.

Home design combines the essence of architecture and art, and designers do their best to find the new ways in the various contradictions and conflicts to perfectly express their understanding of space and the owners' initial imagination. At the same time, each case built always contains many certain or uncertain factors that refer to the furnishings or even space composition. Each of these factors seems to tell a never ending story and records people's feeling of excitement, confusion, recalling and longing. It is precisely because of these vivid emotional experiences that make home design to be charming and attractive. In order to illustrate the essence of each case in a more accurate way, this book has systematically deconstructed every aspect of the home design that refers to space, structure, interface, decoration as well as special areas. Each of the case is illustrated detailedly from the point of functional area, besides, descriptive text and the corresponding plan vividly recur the transformation from plane to space, from the abstract to the intuition. Reading along the layout of the book, readers not only find inspiration from the cases, but also would experience the peculiarity of the home design and enjoy the tactile sensation of the textured space.
