Grand. But i have a niggling feeling there was another proposal submitted in 2006 but yeh it was definitely the terrace you mentioned, the addresses of the buildings were in the nos 15-19 range or thereabouts…
Seamus i’m not sure. Is it meant to cross at a right angle? I wouldn’t mind that graphic, it’s not exactly for the contractors 😉

I have the same feeling, I do remember an earlier version that may or may not have been submitted that involved making a square by the Becket Theatre with a big gatehouse thing where Nuzzum Bros and the Bicycle factory are.

The Arts Block is a masterpiece.
A masterpiece which used the wrong type of concrete so the “hanging gardens” effect was completely negated, a masterpiece in which only a small percentage of rooms actually have natural light and a masterpiece which has an internally confusing layout.

I think the circulation works better than any other academic building I have visited and that’s a lot.
I am happy to concede on the exterior, what’s wrong with the concrete? I mean that as a technical question.
Maybe we could move this discussion to the TCD thread

since Nassau St is the anti-Pearse St and so this is way OT.

Iseem to remember that as well. In fact I have vague memories of reading a newspaper article were the journalist decried the fact that they would be destroying “our beloved Nuzzum Bros”!
