Mmmm, soaring over O’Connell Street by September, I don’t think so, maybe Sept 2003. Nice foundations though!
St.Helen’s Convent site in Booterstown. I think the model was changed recently and doesn’t look as exciting.

The images don’t really match the reality unfortunately.
Its important to remember that just because the scheme has some of the ingredients of quality modern urban design doesn’t mean its good. I really believe that in knowing the space before and after the intervention the redesign has been to its detriment. Its simply a negative urban design move, brought about by, I suspect, the designers thinking they had to be radical, and in the process loosing almost all of what was good about the existing site. Maybe, there were other agendas at work here, it feels like it, roads dept etc…??
