At the RIAI seminar ‘Building Relationships with Specifiers’ seminar during the week, Eoin O’Morain mentioned that An Taisce have objected to the PVC windows in a Portacabin at the back of Hollis St. Hospital.
Highlight of the day (and it wasn’t short on hubris from the podium or idiotic questions from the floor) was Tony Reddy stating that the problems of Ballymun and Ronan Point were social rather then architectural. Fortunately none of the Copeland attired double-glazing and office furniture reps assembled to hear the great man speak had the faintest idea of what Ronan Point was.
It seems that an inconsistancy of viewpoints or stands is rife among such bodies. Why don’t they apply their viewpoints across the board. The mural business is ridiculous as mentioned by bunch….in Dublin there is a phone/fax/cv/desktop sort of place near Berkeley place and it is an 18th century Georgian type building. But just recently as last year a huge Esat Digifone advert/mural was painted over the brickfacade… ludicrous! – maybe whatever about on a gable end but…..and as for An Taisce opposing portacabin PVC windows….absolute crazy, they should concentrate on the building stock!
