OVERVIEW: ‘Talking to my Father’ features two voices, Father and Son, both concerned with how we understand the architecture that surrounds our lives. The Father, Robin Walker worked for Le Corbusier in Paris as a young graduate and later studied under Mies van der Rohe in Chicago. When he returned to Ireland in the early sixties the country was recovering from stagnation and mass emigration and Modern architecture was in great demand. Robin used his Miesian principles to create some of the most iconic buildings of that era. Mysteriously at the height of a celebrated career Robin walked away from the world of architecture and concentrated on writing.
