If the Cork docklands are to become an extension of the city centre then development should be urban in form, i.e. there should be streets, squares etc. This building while quite dramatic seems to be set in a business park/campus setting. Green space can be incoporated in the form of parks or a linear park with cycle ways along the river bank. The docklands needs to be developed in a high density manner if things like light rail linking it to the city centre are feasible.

True, though this is at the Eastern end of the South Docklands area, where it borders the attractive Marina/Atlantic Pond area. I think a project such as this would blend nicely between the urban dockland setting and the quiet, recreational Atlantic Pond.
