Richard Hurley considers Liam McCormick’s development of church architecture in the late 1960s and 1970s, celebrated in a new publication Liam McCormick Architect: North by Northwest and an exhibition at the Irish Architectural Archive.
In the years between 1967 and 1977, Liam McCormick established himself as the most important church architect of his generation in Ireland (Fig 2). During these years he designed many memorable churches, including St Aengus’, Burt; St Michael’s, Creeslough; St Conal’s, Glenties (all in Donegal), Our Lady of Lourdes, Steelstown, Derry; and Christ Prince of Peace at Fossa, Co Kerry.
