Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one there!
I found very little new or extradinory in what was presented – but had a very enjoyable evening none the less. How nice to sit back in a comfy chair with a pint and listen to someone talk entertainingly about an interest and passion we share. Not bad for free! Thanks Design Ireland Network.
You might be able to help – What was the name of the architect of the railway style offices? He mentioned CIE but I didn’t catch the name. Looked interesting – based on one slide. (metal construction looked like a grounded streamliner rail car. Touch of Kansas maybe?)
I thought his new garden design looked very interesting and is an area that needs a lot of improvement. It was an attempt to design a proper shared garden for an apartment block – these tend to be problematic as in Clarion Quay or unused as in nearly everywhere. Rather than gravel the whole thing, his design encorporated curvey walkways and secluded pod areas. Can’t wait to see how it turns out as I can see the secluded semi private areas becoming cider swilling spots.
Nice plan for reeds of lights with each apartment overlooking having the remote control for one or more lights allowing you to interact with the garden from your balcony. Sounded fun.
