Re: Re: Lancaster Quay Hospital

Yossarian: Good on you! That combination is the distinguishing building material of Cork and it’s both aesthetically pleasing and capable of infinite variety (and any number of ‘contemporary’ interpretations). Cork could be a great small city if only it had a citizenry and administration that gave a toss about civic integrity and design.
PS That’s not to say I don’t like Cork (I do), but I found the level of civic neglect and decay in the centre very disturbing.
