Larriers 6th Class

We are doing a project on the Rosie Hackett Bridge. We are going to be displaying our project in the BT Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS on the 9th of January. Seán Harrington, the architect who designed the bridge came in to speak to us this morning.

We sat around a big table. We had lots of questions for him which he answered and explained through drawings. He told us how the bridge was going to support the Luas and about it’s design. We don’t want to tell you about that now though, because it will ruin the surprise of our project!

Seán was really helpful. He gave us lots of ideas for our project. He was really interesting and it was a very different morning for us! He told us a funny story about why he wanted to be an architect and I think its given some of us ideas about being an architect or a designer when we're older.
