“Incidentally, did you know that you’re going to get a Danny Libeskind building down in the Dublin docks? “
We are?
Libeskind? Well, he certainly thinks so, but he is a born optimist. I met him recently in London, and he’d just got off the plane from Dublin.
Some sort of museum, tied in with a big commercial development down in the docks…clearly it was at the early stages, but he was pretty confident about it. I know no more.
Ahhhh doubt that will happen. It will be some property developer hoping to remove the complaints lobby by hirintg a big name and then having their inhouse crew ‘design’ the 5 million square feet of bland office space.

Doubtful as work is due to commence on October this year according to banners on the building. wouldn’t leave much time.
More likely to be the “cultural/public use” element often proposed by Developers in turn for increased/high rise development.(similar to the Childrens museum proposed in the Smithfield proposal recently)I went down to the site just after the new year and I see that site clearance works have almost been completed. Therefore I presume building work is about to start. Does anybody know if the scheme has been altered in any way from the original design ?
Does Liebeskind mean the plan for Dun laoghiare harbour? That plan includes and Irish diaspora museum, commercial unit, hotel and apartments. It is in Dub county – fits the bill, doesn’t it.
By the way, does anyone know of the Dun Laoighre plans progress?
I was’nt talking about Dun Laoighre, I meant the Hammond Lane site in the Docklands.This is the site Dunloe Ewart are developing.
