Pivot Points in Derry

The first iteration of the travelling version of the Irish Architectural Archive’s 50th anniversary exhibition, Pivot Points, is now on view in the North West Transport Hub (formerly Waterside Station), Derry.

The exhibition was opened by Cllr Grace Uí Niallais, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, on Tuesday 27 October 2026 and will run until Sunday 22 November 2026.

The exhibition panels – and the bespoke display system – were designed by Studio Unthink who also designed the Pivot Points publication. We are very grateful to Noelle Cooper and Colin Farmer of Unthink, and to Frank Prendergast and Sara Murphy of Shape Forms, for making an installation of which we can be very proud. We are also very grateful to Tony Monaghan, Anne Carlin and Dr Andrew Bratton from Derry City and Strabane District Council who have been fantastic to work with, and to Charlotte Richardson from Translink for facilitating our presence in the station.
