Cian

I am a final year undergraduate student in Trinity College, Dublin majoring in the History of Art & Architecture, having made some attempt to reconcile myself with attempting be a Philosopher for the last three years.
My undergraduate dissertation is on the history of Green Architecture in Ireland, its evolution, philosophy, sadly it politico-economics, its demands of Architectural History and demands of more general publics.
Philosophy and a passion for architecture give me a love of balance, of golden means and rationale - and trying to live past philosophy forces me to see the implicit compulsion to be a global citizen. Hopefully by promoting an understanding of Green from buildings out I can show the rationality of environmentalism and the benefits it strives to give to human lives - not just inconveniences.
