Re: Re: High Rise Building

I agree that that point about high rise turning visitors away is bo**ox. Look at Bracelona, it is one of the finest cities in the world and does it have high rise buildings, YES, in fact there are two of 3 of them almost side by side on the coast, is it likely to deter visitors ,NO, because it still has its gems (Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Batllo) which are not beside the high rise buildings and are unaffected by them, also the Torre Agbar is class, I love it.
Will the high rise buildings in Dublin be built beside the old landmarks like the GPO and fore courts, NO, so what is their case against them, they will be built, we hope in the docklands and around Heuston where they are suitable.

The torre Mapfre and Torre Arts look like the DDDA’s fabled gateway of U2 & Watchtower:D
