I am analysing the area around heuston station for my thesis. i feel it is a very important site and neglected and under utilised. I am looking for informatin on the develpoment of the area around the site. I am aware of the proposal for the Eircom land on St John’s Road West.
The area to be devloped as a digital hub – who is proposing this and designing it?
I feel there should be some kind of Gaeway Builidng or threshold building to announce the begining of the urban, but am not sure what functions would occur in this building. My hunch is that it is an interchange, but this sounds like organising traffic whichis not a thesis buiding. any ideas where i should look for case studies or precedent?

The Heuston Gateway: Introduction
In April 2001 Dublin Corporation commissioned the Urban Projects led team of Fergal MacCabe, Faber Maunsell and DTZ Sherry Fitzgerald to undertake an urban study of the Heuston Station Environs, culminating in the production of a Regeneration Strategy Framework Plan for the area. The overall objective given by Dublin Corporation was “to produce a regeneration strategy which will incorporate an urban design land use framework plan for the Heuston Station Environs.”
These people should be able to help

what sort of thesis are you doing? archtiectural, planning? its a pretty tough area to carry out a project with the general lack of context, boundary, etc, always think its one of those funny areas in any city, around the railway yards.
If its an architectural thesis, there was one thesis done in this area in Bolton Street last year. it was some sort of religious centre and was located on Steeven’s Lane i think is the name of the street. it runs from Heuston Station up in front of Dr. Steeven’s Hospital. the site was in behind that big wall which runs around from the corner from the quays.
If you head into the library in Bolton Street, you should find plenty of site analysis in that thesis book that may give you some pointers on information to be found relating to the area.
UCD did a study on the River and the quays a few years back and one of the areas picked was an area from the Royal Hospital to the Wellington Monument in the Pheonix Park, including the station lands.
The digital hub is further to the southwest of heustan and lies in two blocks of land on either side of Thomas Street, in the area around the Guiness Storehouse. i think it may be under the Department of the Taoiseach, but if you search under the government website you’ll find info. They have brochures and the like to send out to interested parties.
