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.
