      That’s not the Waterford winning entry, surely?

      It is Alan, ….”for a deliberate, calm and refined piece of work of urban structure. The planning layout and uses are very well considered. It is a plan that can adapt, be phased and even grow beyond its site boundaries should the cicumstances to the rear change.”

      That Archimago site is awful- looks like they should be selling Dungeons and Dragons memorabilia.

      I take it Paul, the quotes are theirs not yours.

      As you know it’s often how you tell the story. Here I guess what they are saying is
      ” don’t like it?……… well don’t worry it can change”

      Quite clever, if you can sell it on that basis, which they obviously have but does not say “Waterford”, to me anyway

      Bacl to MALA, I really hope that “Archimago, Belgium + I/O Interdisciplinary Office, Quebec” are successful. As Jean Beaudoin of I/O is a friend of mine (whom strangely enough I havenever met) and if he wins, I sense an evening on the beer in Dublin 😉 Besides which having seen his entries for other competitions in the past, I have no doubt that he will have produced something interesting for Sligo.

      Sorry Paul, my money is on IDOM UK I hav’nt seen their scheme but their movable feast approach will go down a treat in Sligo.

      Terry Pawson a close second

      I saw the IDOM presentation board down in Waterford when the winning entries were announced for the North Docks. Does anyone know if they have a website??
