Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

Just a quick update on Ulster Bank. The Brutalist units are being slotted out while the upper facade is supported with steel sections. Douglas Wallace are the architects – as with the 1920s neoclassical mothership further up the street.

Trusty breeze blocks always come in handy.

The big CAD drawing on the hoarding is more than just a little flattering in the number of properties it encompasses 😉

It’s also backwards.

It’s a shame institutions like this don’t make a bit more effort in informing the public what they’re up to with regard to bells and whistles schemes such as these. A simple board with basic history and mock-up of what’s being proposed would be as much an effective PR move as it would be a civic-minded gesture. And perfectly located for the ranks queuing at the adjacent ATMs.
