Postmodernism emerged as an architectural movement in the 1960s that rejected the functionalism and simplicity of modern architecture. It incorporated eclectic styles and references to historical elements. Key aspects included adding color, ornamentation, and references to classical orders to make buildings more human-scaled. Major postmodern architects like Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, and Michael Graves designed buildings that combined modern and historical elements in metaphorical and playful ways.
Gregory Dalfonzo's architecture portfolio includes projects that explore questions about the dissolution of ground planes in cities and the vertical distribution of civic programs. His thesis project proposes a civic tower in Cape Town, South Africa in 2076 that houses programs like a library, museum, and transit in a vertical arrangement across three towers. Prior projects include a proposal to connect McCormick Place convention center in Chicago into the surrounding neighborhood and a floating bridge connecting a new park in Chicago to the city. Dalfonzo's portfolio demonstrates his focus on asking questions through design and integrating civic functions in three-dimensional cities.

3. My thesis exploration began with reflection on my own
working life in response to the theme of the year
‘working life’. The thesis was born out of an interest in
carpentry informed by my experience of working with
timber. It examines material honesty in modern
architecture and the apparent disconnection between
how something is designed and how something is made.
It demonstrates my belief that a buildings character
should be derived from creative tectonic expression and
not a pre-conceived notion of form.
The public element of the project includes a community
hall/ private workshop space. The structure of this space
is informed by tectonic principles of ship-building,
(alluding to Waterford’s historic tradition of
ship-building), and seeks to resemble an inverted hull.
The private aspects of the project include three artisan
workshops and a larger Etsy workshop. This larger
workshop uses a timber joinery system devoid of nails,
screws or glue. The research allowed me to investigate
particular timber details through large scale models.

With the project we were asked to design housing units
on Dominic Street in central Dublin. The street was once
lined with Georgian terraces which were almost entirely
knocked down in the 1960’s. They were replaced with
poorly designed social housing typical of 1960’s Dublin.
My design attempts to reconcile the memory of the old
Georgian imprint with the demands of modern housing.
The front facade seeks to provide a hard edge to the
city through an inhabited wall of bricks. This inhabi-
tation takes the form of a balcony and a niche seating
space for the bedrooms. The living area face south and
include flexible timber shutters for shading and privacy.
Private gardens at ground floor level provide a threshold
between the apartment and street.

For this project we were asked to design a new city library for Dublin. The site is
on Dorset street in the North Inner City with one side facing a busy street
consisting of 3-4 storey apartments, and the other, a quiet residential street.
My proposal responds to the scale of the context by situating the main reading
room on the busy street and the quieter elements of the brief to the back. 1st
floor exhibition spaces provide the main lighting source for the library and
create thresholds between the various sectors of the building. The entrance for
the library takes the form of an ‘internal street’ which seperates the more private
aspects of the library from the main public hall. This central reading room creates
a large volume for communal gathering while surrounding, smaller volumes create
more intimate, personal reading spaces. The external cladding is inspired by the
study of the near-by 18th century black church. The project also sees the creation
of a new public square.
10. Existing view- Ilac Shopping Centre
Exisiting view Parnell Square
For this project, we asked to examine the area around Parnell Square through
the lens of the picturesque and the descriptive. The first part of the project
involved selecting views from around the north inner city and proposing how
that view could be be visually improved through architectural proposals.
The second part of the project involved making an intervention in the area. For
my proposal, I examined the private space of the Ilac Shopping Centre and
proposed how it could be re-imagined as a public street. My proposal involved
the introduction of residential units and the removal of the shopping centre
roof. I imagined that the market area of the adjacent Moore Street could now
extend to this new public realm.

12. 3rd year dissertation, semester 2- Dublin Migration Museum
Museum exterior The brief and for this project was to design a piece of
architecture of a certain size along a major tourist route in
Dublin. I decided to design a Migration Museum to
acknowledge the citys history of emmigration.
The museum is developed along the ideals of an introverted
journey suggestive of the disorientation of migration. The
building user follows a carefully considered circulation route
along an interactive wall through the building before entering
into a large research room. I created a route along the old city
wall in-between 2 separate blocks. A plinth running around
the building establishes a common datum and helps link the
two blocks visually. The stone-clad walls of the exhibition
space are raised from the plinth and supported by set back
columns. These blank walls are a response to the massive,
singular nature of the existing city wall.

The Dublin City Hall project involved designing a new city hall and square for
Dublin. My design attempts to repair the street while also providing a sheltered
public square. This square encourages pedestrian movement between Dame
Lane and Dame Street. The ground floor is activated by an open public gallery,
with steps facing the existing Dublin City Hall leading up to the offices above.

14. 3rd year, semester 1- Fabriano town hall study
During a class trip to northern Italy, we visited the towns of Gubbio,
Fabriano, Todi and Perugia. The Medieval town halls and associated
squares of these towns are unique to only two places in the world.
During our visit, we surveyed and researched the town halls and the
squares. I was involved in collecting accurate information for the
square in Fabriano. Upon returning to college a small group of us
made a 1:100 model of the square. The model was then photographed
in a photography workshop.
Location: Fabriano, Marche, Italy
15. 3rd year, semester 1- Rome town hall

Town hall central room
The brief for this project was to design a town hall, public square and
offices. The site was in Trastevere, Rome on an awkward site which sloped
dramatically from one side to the other.
In this project I have created a terraced square which acts as a backdrop
to Luciano Manara, the main street linking Trastevere back to the city. A
zig-zagging ramp nestles into the natural slope of the land and links the
upper and lower levels of the site. A second square on the upper level
allows views over the city.
The various elements of the town hall engage in different
scales. The grand scale doorway of the entrance
contrasts with the human scale
of the seated auxilary spaces.

16. 2nd year, semester 2- Bray Pavilion project
The brief for this project was to design a pavilion with a stage,
cafe and changing rooms. The site is situated at the southern
edge of Bray Wanderer’s football grounds.
With this project I attempted to create an experience of
ceremony and anticipation for the supporters as they made
their way to their seats. I identified an unused platform at the
top of the main stand and linked it to a pre-game gathering
area at ground level by creating a ramp. As the ramp rises, the
various functions of the stadium like the changing rooms and
turn-styles are placed underneath it. The cafe and stage help
separate the ramp from the pitch and allow for a controlled
glimpse into the ground as the supporter makes his/her way up
the ramp.
