Reply To: Real Landmark for Dublin

I’m not a big fan of the spire, as I don’t think it shows a great deal of imagination, and isn’t functional. At least the Sky Tower is functional, with 2 viewing decks and a few restaurants (one of which rotates 360 degrees each hour).

When I suggested the Auckland sky tower, I only meant as an example. Obviously to copy such a building would defeat the purpose.

However I still feel we could do with a building of this magnitute in our capital.

P.S. : I think the Sky Tower will become well known in years to come. The fact that it is only 5 years old probably contributes to it’s anonimity.
