Public to get say on plan for Carlisle Pier
Tim O’BrienScale models of the four shortlisted proposals for the redevelopment of Dún Laoghaire’s Carlisle Pier are to go on public display in the port on Friday.
During the exhibition, visitors will be asked to fill in comment cards indicating their preference and the cards and other submissions will then be assessed and a recommendation made to the harbour board.
The board will also consider the recommendation of a panel of experts and a final decision on the winning project is to be made in March.
Why not all get down to the exhibition and have your say…
I dunno how much sway the publics opinion will have with the judges but I suppose there’s no use complaining afterwards if a crowd of conservatives have attended the expo and we end up with a box!!the pictures in the times article are different and show that the som design has a public walk along the roof, which i have to say is really cool.
Notjim, the picture of the SOM project in the Irish Times is confusing me slightly. It makes it appear as though there is a marina behind it, which there is not. It is very hard for me to explain, but if you look at it closely you will see what I mean. I am not talking about the marina which presently exists on the other side of St. Michaels Wharf, I am talking about the space between the Carlisle Pier and the East Pier. If you look at the photo, the space behind it looks odd. It does not look like what is really there. Maybe the negative for the photo got reversed!?
Are you suggesting Phil, Skidmore’s may not be too familiar with the site. That would explain the ghosted image of St Marks behind their scheme on the website?

I’ve been trying to think what the Libeskin proposal reminds me of……it’s the shark with the complex in “Finding Nemo”
Very appropriate.
It is an extremely adventurous design.
It would not be unfair to compare it to a shark, but the one quality it has, is that the structure appears to interact with the water very well. Both STW and HP designs feature a plinth design which neither got right.
………once, while fishing off Inishturk a basking shark past beneath the bow of my boat.
Biggest fucking thing I ever saw.
It was not my intention to suggest that, but I really cannot make head nor tail of that photo. Where did you see the photo with St Marks in the background? Was it on the SOM web page, because I could not find the project on their webpage, or was it on the Dun Laoghaire Harbour page?
Alan, Just looked at the picture on the Dun Laoghaire Harbour Website. Is what you were referring to as St Marks possibly the Town Hall Clock Tower (which is Venetian in its design)?

same happened to me off ballycotton. cept my boat was 12 feet long and i swear to god it took 30 seconds for the thing to swim by. hoooooj
I simply think Phil, that Skidmore’s proposal as shown on the attached web image is so non site specific that it could indeed be St. Marks in the background.
“Quick shove in the tower, lads”
Is that also the sun setting in the south?
Do ya think sw101, it could have been the same big b***ard? Scary innit?
The web image at the start of this thread that is, Phil.
