dkebabParticipantNice to see the bilingual signage in ‘Aerfort ChorcaÃ’
dkebabParticipantRe: jervis st. I’m just say ing that the propaosal is like any other mediocre retail experience that has been designed in this country recently. I really think that one would have to be completely visually illiterate to argue that this design will have any positive impact on cork. It is such a pity that this is the drivel that we have to support. The design pays absolutely no heed whatsover to its context and the aa building looks like an ignorant pastiche in its mist. I can’t belive that people can argue for this proposal on the basis that this nprovides prime retail space in the city. Is that what we want in Cork? More high streBritish chain stores . This project looks onto the most important artscility in the city. An establishment. It faces Emmet place and the OPera House again landmarks of major importance in the city. THis design is blatanly ignorant to its context and again I liken it to the most horrifc development in Cork since the Celtic Tiger has clawed its ugly glazed fronted post modern neo classically intended rubbish into the fabric of the city; the vibes and scribes building fronting Paul Street car park. Do we put any value on our city?
I think it is completely ignorant to consider that any new development in Cork is good simply because it is new and houses a Dixons or a Carphone warehouse. This project is utterly disgusting and I will make no apologies whatsover for this opinion. If one is to deem this dramatic I think it most unfortunate. When this is constructed it will shame us all.
dkebabParticipantI think this design is one of the worst proposals I have seen for Cork. It seems that people will throw up any old re hashed Jervis St crap and expect the citezens of Cork to lap it up gratefully. I am disgusted at the level of design of the project. It is tedious, ill-considered and ad-hoc. It is not unlike the horrific building occupied by Vibes and Scribes fronting Paul St. Car Park. I am ashamed that the people of Cork have such little respect for the urban fabric of such a unique city that they wouyld allow such obscene development to continue.
