Caitríona McArdle
She studied Architecture at the Dublin School of Architecture, DIT. Her final year thesis was an exploration of the influence of architecture on the success of prison regimes. Following her belief in architecture as a means for social improvement, the project dealt with the re-establishment of the prison typology as a positive environment, not just for those committed to it but also for the communities in which prisons are located. Since her graduation, Caitríona worked in Glasgow before joining Solearth. Outside of architecture her main interests are film, music and travel.
