    Some quick-witted individual has gone to quite some effort to make a subtle but pertinent point about Robocop 😀

    He he – they’re scattered about its ground floor. Not very many, but just enough to make a point 🙂

    How apt in the context of DCC’s acquiesce to ‘temporary’ signage across the city, and the visual blight that unites the two.

    Across the road is a more elegant composition, in the form of a crisp infill property now nearing completion.

    It ties in nicely with the bumbling grain of this part of Dame Street, with nicely proportioned fenestration, elegant colours and a sharp finish. Just a pity about the ugly first floor door and window unit – cumbersome and ill-designed for such a central feature.

    Someone wants to make an arse of a corner building by raising one elevation by a floor and not the other ………….. on Parliament Street, planned 18th cen. vista to City Hall 😮

    Can see their point given the number of people sardined into the Porterhouse, but in townscape terms it’s too inept to be true.
    PS Is the Clarence proposal now dead? (I hope.)

    No. Unless you’ve heard something? It has permission, but hasn’t started yet.

    The Clarence is on hold until saner times prevail. Two years from what I heard. They still intend redeveloping however.
