Passing through Dublin Airport last week, I was confronted with the image of the curved and reflective elements of Terminal 2 the its equally sleek raised walkway to the new parking facility immediately halted by the crude boxed elements that constitute a continuation of that same walkway and the parking structure itself. Whilst I accept that there is a limited scope to enchance the multi-storey garage, especially given that it was delivered through a design-build format, I believe that the transition in the walkway could not have been handled more clumsily.
Fortunately, I do not have an photo of this horror to share.@eamoss wrote:

Bord rejects Dundalk scheme
AN BORD Pleanála has refused permission for a major mixed-use scheme in Dundalk.
Paul Monaghan’s Ampezzano Ltd was seeking permission to demolish the existing building and replace it with 151 apartments, 10 retail units and a restaurant on the site of the Williamson’s Mall.
A new pedestrian street – providing a link between Francis Street and Ramparts Road – was also proposed. In refusing permission the board said the scheme would seriously injure the setting of St Patrick’s Cathedral.
