2+…Queens in Belfast

too true. if therewere other major centres of architectural education in the country, the industry would not have to be so dublin orientated. this website, for example, rarely has non dublin orientated forums. do you think this is true ??? or is it just my imagination. i have heard little or no debate about the massive developement plans for the developement of the docks in cork, surely this is a project of potentially national importance???
if the education system was ‘decentralised’smaller cities cork, galway etc… might have a better chance of improving there architectural culture and stock, by the increased hosting of architectural exhibitions, more student and competition projects outside dublin etc…

there is certainly room for improvement. and hopefully room for great architects and great architecture outside dublin.

its true but speaking for myself being based in Dublin, you just dont come across non Dublin-o-centric news. Would prefer that there was more non-Dublin-o-centric conversations but I imagine most of the posters are in the Dublin area at this stage…. Doesnt the greater Dublin area contain a third of the state’s population at this stage?
