Reply To: Dublin’s Ugliest Building

Is this the one on Beresford Place?

If so I have to agree its sterile blandness overwhelming, but the problem in my opinion is really the way it fails to engage with the city. On old maps, Beresford Place appears as a crescent focussing on the Customs House. This building both curves the other way and effectively barricades the IFSC from the rest of the city.

When the IFSC was originally designed, why didn’t it connect with the city centre instead of creating a suburban campus next to but isolated from it?
