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.

Sheila talks to Belfast-born co-founder of Rough Magic Theatre Company Lynne Parker, who has spent forty years proving that Irish theatre thrives on audacity and craft. They discuss the role of Rough Magic in defining Irish theatre in the 1980s amidst socio-political turmoil, the significance of physical spaces and how architecture influences performance, the lack of support for emerging artists and the importance of artist development programmes, and the resilience and joy to be found in experimental commissioning and form.
This conversation was recorded in Dublin in front of a small audience in October 2024.
