Episode Details

For thirty years, Paul Clerkin has been quietly building a global architectural archive called Archiseek—starting with Ireland’s hidden gems and now spanning Europe and the Commonwealth—with a special spotlight on Winnipeg’s bold mid-century design. He captures the city’s postwar optimism, when ambition fueled iconic public buildings and daring urban plans like relocating city hall. From forgotten structures to revitalized landmarks like the Hudson’s Bay building renamed Wehwehneh Bahgahkinahgohn, Clerkin celebrates architecture as visionary dreaming—even when things don’t go perfectly. Started in 1996 to fill a void in online Irish architecture, his project now holds hundreds of buildings waiting for their turn, each a testament to architects’ enduring belief that better is possible.
