OTIUM
drawing research

09.05.2024 - 30.05.2024



The Architecture Centre,
8 Merrion Square,
Dublin 2


OTIUM draws together research completed by ben mullen architects as part of the
inaugural Eileen Grey E-1027 Research Fellowship 2023 with new work addressing
themes of research by design in contemporary architectural practice.

The exhibition presents 108 drawings made during residency at the Centre
Culturel Irlandais in Paris, analysing the image language of ‘Dysart’, an
ongoing project by Tom de Paor in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, in which landscape,
garden and domesticity coalesce with punk vernaculars in the production of a
new, disciplined and performative architecture. The drawings were made in direct
response to photographs taken by de Paor and Peter Maybury, an archive that
documents Dysart’s development as both artefact and method.

These drawings are presented alongside contract documents, site photographs and
ephemera from a domestic self-build project currently under construction by ben
mullen architects in Wicklow Town. Together, the exhibition seeks to expand the
theoretical framework and dominant methodologies of professional practice,
reframing the building site as a place of sustained architectural
experimentation.

The Eileen Gray E-1027 Research Fellowship was jointly funded by the Royal
Institute of Architects Ireland and the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris with
support from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.








ben mullen architects is an architectural practice based in Wicklow, Ireland.
Established in 2020 the practice works with architecture and landscape design to
address environmental concerns as the primary aesthetic problems of our time.  

Within the traditional boundaries of architecture, projects are developed from
first principles with sensitivity to site, new material cultures and the
histories of construction.
