context_section_description: The company has been responsible for many influential and recognisable buildings in Ireland, such as the Dublin central bus station, known as Busáras, completed in 1953, which was one of the first buildings of the modern style in Ireland. The firm attempted to bring art and architecture together, commissioning art to be incorporated in their buildings such as at Busáras). The artists Patrick Scott and art critic Dorothy Walker both worked for the firm, and played a significant part in its architecture. The firm also worked with Louis le Brocquy and commissioned work from him and his wife Anne Madden.
  The Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, on the site of the old Lansdowne Road site, was designed by Populous in collaboration with Scott Tallon Walker Architects. The sustainably-built stadium features a host of green building features that enable it to integrate into its site while making the most of available resources. Designed as a sweeping crystalline bowl, the stadium harvests rainwater to irrigate the field, reuses waste heat for hot water, and is topped with a transparent roof that allows daylight to suffuse the interior spaces.
