In my opinion the computer is there to produce drawings… the creative input comes from the human brain, and when it doesn’t, it shows.
here here, I apologise if that got a bit strong, and all that I would say to close is that, in my opinion, this idea of a closed cell of professionals who consider the public to be uncapable of appreciation, not everyone can go to art school, does no favours for the discipline and serves to further distance architects and the like from the public domain.
I rest my case.
Ps I am an architect…….

No snobbism here mate………….yet they are to have a right to comment on things artistic.have a right? everyone has a right….
Besides if a ‘journalist’ sticks a microphone in someones face on Talbot street and asks: ‘what do you think about…….?’, are they supposed to answer: ‘Sorry i have no right to comment, I never went to art school, and I only got six months into architecture at UCD but i gave it up as I had to earn some money instead.’

What you are saying wreeks of snobbism. By the way, what is ‘Art Education’ ? Sounds like ‘brainwashing’ to me. All I want to say is that people are perfectly entitled to like or dislike what they choose, without being labelled a west Brit by someone who pretends to have superior ‘taste’.
I am in favour of the spike, I saw it last week, it is not as nice as I would have hoped, the fabrication is shoddy, but I am still in favour. What annoys me are people who see it is a crusade against Dubliners, usually, who are supposedly under ‘educated’.

Don’t want to be a whinger but when I first saw the base of the Spike I was a bit disappointed ……………I’m a Dub too, but I know my loyalities and what’s best for Dublin City, the Capital of Ireland.For crying out loud, calm down.
People for, people against, end of story, Dub, not Dub, so what?
Some of the work done by Neil Heggarty, the cork city architect, might be of use to you. Don’t know where you might find it though.
Merry Christmas to one and all, I am going home.
