The article discusses the transformation of Irish architecture since the 1970s, primarily attributed to the 1991 Temple Bar Framework Plan competition in Dublin. This competition revitalized what was once a declining urban area, fostering a new wave of innovative architects, highlighted by the achievements of Group 91. The area transformed from a planned bus terminal into a cultural quarter, encouraging growth in jobs and tourism. Critic Shane O'Toole notes how perceptions shifted dramatically, with Ireland now boasting a Pritzker Prize and multiple RIBA Royal Gold Medallists in recent years.
