hey kaz, im in the same boat as you as i am doing my dissertation on skyscrapers, and a shorter version concentration on dublin. the problem with dublin is it doesnt have a skyline to be proud of. may i suggest you take a walk along the river liffy down towards the docklands. and even get in touch with the dublin docklands authority as they want a limit of five to six story buildings which face directley onto the liffy.
HAVE U SEEN THE KIOSK ON THE ADELAIDE ROAD. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL KIOSK THAT SHOWS A FINE EXAPMPLE OF IRISH EDWARDIAN ARCHITECTURE AND IS STILL IN USE BOTH AS A KIOSK AND AS A PUMPING STATION. I FOUND IT HAD TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT A PROTECTED STRUSTURE WHEN IT SHOULD BE. THANKFULLY THE OWNER THINKS IT SHOULD BE PROTECTED AND IS DOING WHAT HE CAN FOR THE BUILDING. I THINK THE IRISH NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE BEAUTY OF THESE LITTLE STRUCTURES
