Unbuilt Dublin
2006 – Bifrost, Dublin
Architect: 3XN
Speculative design for an eco-living development in Dublin called Bifrost. Arranged as a continuous unbroken building, the building is split up into a series of different areas that offer a total of 186,000 square meters of high density mixed-use space. Inside the figures of 8 are two large areas, one of which is accessible to the public and the other that will be for occupiers of the scheme, criss-crossed by a series of sky-bridges. The blocks were arranged so that the direct sunlight penetration can be the maximum so it can reach the full height without completely overshadowing the interior.
