Founded in 2021 by Emmett Scanlon, Story, Building is an independent platform to advance the critical discussion of architecture.

The platform has three outputs – a podcast, What Buildings Do; an Index (under construction) and a printed journal, also Story, Building.

The platform has five guiding strategies, specifically to –

1. Create new conditions and trigger new situations for active, informed, and enthusiastic engagement with architecture.
2. Discuss critically and independently, the practice, processes, and products of contemporary architecture in Ireland.
3. Explore, map and reveal aspects of the nature and culture of that architecture.
4. Expand access to the discussion of architecture and the built environment, offering a place for new, diverse voices to contribute to draw a new map of lives lived in the company of buildings
5. Work with others to develop and support an infrastructure of new voices, writers and actors in the communication of architecture.
