Whilst the military history of Cork city has been exhaustively studied, the physical development has largely been ignored. Designed for Life: Architecture and Design in Cork City, 1900–90 is the first detailed study of twentieth century design dedicated to an Irish provincial city and sets the standard for examining this fascinating period. Whilst focusing on buildings, the book also includes examples of interior design, graphic design and corporate identity.
