Yvonne Farrell belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Yvonne Farrell as Irish architect (born 1951).
Yvonne Farrell was born at Tullamore in 1951. Her recorded nationality is Ireland. She was educated at University College Dublin.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives her occupations as architect and university teacher.
Her affiliations include Grafton Architects.
Among her principal works are UTEC campus and Palazzo Bocconi. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Pritzker Architecture Prize (2020).
That the work was done from Ireland matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Yvonne Farrell is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
