The Studio Sessions is a podcast about the architects studio as a site of conversation.
This first mini-series is co-hosted by John Tuomey and Sheila O’Donnell, of O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects, a partnership and practice that has always acknowledged the influence of other forms of art and culture on their work. They have invited artists, makers, and creative practitioners to the studio space they built for themselves at the end of their garden, people they are interested in and who are doing interesting things, to hear their stories, and talk about areas of reciprocal practice. Each recorded in front of a small audience, and presented in the context of their body of work, these conversations are an insight into how they design and make buildings, but also demonstrate one of the fundamental imperatives of their practice - the importance of the interdependence of artforms in sustaining a vibrant cultural landscape.
These conversations were recorded in Dublin in front of a small audience between July and December 2024.
Co-hosted by John Tuomey + Sheila O'Donnell of O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects.

John talks to poet, editor, academic, and publisher, Peter Fallon, a pivotal figure in modern Irish letters, about Gallery Press, Ireland's pre-eminent poetry house, which he founded at eighteen years old while a student at Trinity College Dublin. They discuss Peters formative experiences leading to a life in poetry, the idea of poetry as 'making' or craftsmanship and where it finds common ground with architecture, the nurturing role of a publisher in a poet's journey, the influence of the landscape of Connemara and Lough Crew, and the role the visual arts, and in particular the work of the artist Michael Kane, played in the history of Gallery Press. Peter also reads a few of his poems, and reflects on the influence and legacies of his friends and fellow poets Derek Mahon and Seamus Heaney.
This conversation was recorded in Dublin, in front of a small audience, in October 2024.
