Introduction
Scott Tallon Walker is an architecture practice with its head office in Dublin, Ireland, and further offices in London, Galway and Cork.
History
The firm was started by Michael Scott, one of Ireland's foremost architects of the 20th Century[1].
Michael Scott first formed the firm Scott and Good with Norman D. Good. The firm initially developed a reputation for designing hospitals.[2]
In 1938 Michael Scott broke his partnership with Norman D. Good to form 'Michael Scott Architect' [3]
During the Second World War the firm survived on small commissions, and following the war went on to work for the Córas Iompair Éireann, the National Transport Company, and designed such buildings as Donnybrook Bus Garage (together with Ove Arup, who set up Arup's first overseas office in Dublin at the request of Michael Scotthttp://ireland.archiseek.com/architects_ireland/michael_scott/donnybrook.html), and Dublin Central Bus Station (Busaras).
In 1958 the firm became a partnership, 'Michael Scott and Partners', with Ronnie Tallon and Robin Walker as one of the partners. In 1975 the firm was renamed 'Scott Tallon Walker'.
